Celebrate a golden anniversary for the 50p
Introduced in October 1969 prior to decimalisation, the 50p was a truly revolutionary coin. Easily distinguishable by touch and sight thanks to its unusual shape, it still rolled smoothly in vending machines; testament to the precision engineering of Hugh Conway and his design team. Struck as a rarely issued gold Proof piedfort edition to mark this ‘golden anniversary’, this special commemorative 50p is a fitting tribute to the science behind the design of the world’s first seven-sided coin.
