Without more context, —it’s likely a user-generated meme or a specific player’s nickname. If you saw it on Reddit, Discord, or Twitch, it’s probably a joke about being the best at something worthless.
The phrase likely refers to a meme or inside joke within the Old School RuneScape (OSRS) community.
In OSRS, (two gold pieces) is the minimum trade value for certain low-level items (like burnt food or useless junk), often used ironically. A "king" in this context is someone celebrated for a trivial or humorous achievement.
The most common reference is to players who collect or trade extremely low-value items (e.g., buying "burnt shrimp" or "useless keys" for 2gp each), jokingly calling themselves the "2gp king" as a parody of wealthy players who are "banks" or "merchant kings."
