The United Nations was founded in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II to promote global peace, security, and social progress. Over the decades, it has worked to resolve conflicts peacefully and address issues such as poverty, hunger, and disease worldwide. In 1995, a commemorative £2 coin was issued to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UN's establishment. The reverse design, created by Michael Rizzello, features the UN emblem surrounded by a collection of national flags radiating outward, alongside the inscription "NATIONS UNITED FOR PEACE. 1945-1995."
