Bruce Rushin
Bruce Rushin is an art teacher and coin designer from Brundall in Norfolk, United Kingdom.
In 1997, Rushin entered (and won) a competition by submitting a design for the British Two Pound coin.[1] Rushin had no previous experience in coin design.[2] The design used concentric rings to illustrate technological progress, and is inscribed with Sir Isaac Newton's quote "Standing on the shoulders of giants".[3] The Two Pound Coin is included in the collections of the Science Museum Group[4] and the Royal Collection Trust.[5]
In 2012 Rushin won a competition to design a coin for the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Paralympics held in London, England.[6][7]
Rushin taught at Flegg High School in Norfolk from 1990 to 2008.[8]
