2019 Silver Proof 50p - 50 Years of the 50p

The Shape of a Revolution

50 Years of the 50p Anniversary Coin

Released in 1969 in readiness for the decimal switchover, over the course of the last 50 years the 50p has become one of Britain's favourite coins.  Engineered to perfection, the world's first seven-sided coin has stood the test of time, inspiring mints around the world to follow suit with similar designs.

The coin bears special marks recognising the engineering process.  On the outer rim of the reverse, the letters A to G appear on each point and are joined by arced crossing lines - a minting first on a 50p coin.

There is a secondary mark on the reverse - a spirograph-type design drawn from an extension of lines forming the 50p shape.
