The reason it says "New Pence" is because before decimilization in 1971, Britain used a system involving shillings, pennies, crowns, half-crowns, florins, farthings, etc. and the "New Pence" was there to remind people it was decimal currency because many of the older coins were demonetized.
The 2 New Pence coin is a British coin first issued in 1971 and last issued in 1981. From 1982 onwards, the "NEW" was dropped and the coins were known simply a 2 Pence.
