According to the Royal Mint:-To mark this celebration of sporting excellence, the Royal Mint has issued a commemorative two-pound coin.

This magnificent Commonwealth Games Four-Coin Gold Proof Set exemplifies the desire, the success and the attainment of the ultimate sporting award - gold. Demonstrating the highest achievement in the art of minting, the Four-Coin Gold Proof Set has a worldwide issue limit of just 500, and is sure to be a rare and sought-after collection. The luxurious red leather case, gold blocked with the now famous Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games logo, provides a fitting presentation and protects the precious contents from dust and harm, while the accompanying information booklet incorporates a Royal Mint Certificate of Authenticity.

Other four coin sets to celebrate the 2002 Commonwealth Games are;
