The problem of minimax estimation of a parameter θ when θ is restricted to a finite interval [θ₀,θ₀+m] is studied. The case of a convex loss function is considered. Sufficient conditions for existence of a minimax estimator which is a Bayes estimator with respect to a prior concentrated in two points θ₀ and θ₀+m are obtained. An example is presented.
