Celebrate an unprecedented royal milestone with the 2022 UK Platinum Jubilee 50p coin, issued to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This commemorative coin honours the first British monarch to reach a Platinum Jubilee, reflecting a remarkable reign that has spanned generations.

The reverse design by Osborne Ross features a bold and elegant ‘70’, symbolising seven decades on the throne. Within the design sits the Royal Cypher ‘E II R’, with the dates ‘1952–2022’ shown below to mark the span of Her Majesty’s reign. The clean and contemporary style of the design gives the coin a strong visual presence while clearly conveying its historic significance.

The obverse features the fifth portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. This portrait appears on UK circulating coinage of the period and is recognised for its refined detail.

Struck in cupro-nickel to standard 50p specifications, the coin weighs 8 grams and measures 27.30 millimetres in diameter, with a thickness of 1.8 millimetres. It features the distinctive seven-sided shape and a plain edge.

Issued in 2022, this coin forms part of the national celebrations marking the Platinum Jubilee. With a circulating mintage of 2,300,000, it stands as a lasting tribute to a historic moment in British history and is a significant addition for collectors of modern commemorative coinage.
