Only 1,220 of these highly collectable piedfort sets were authorised by The Royal Mint in this presentation. The first 50 pence coins were introduced in 1969, just before Decimal Day when the UK fully switched to decimal currency. Initially, these coins bore the figure of Britannia - the female personification of Britain - on their reverse. The work of Christopher Ironside, the design connected the new denomination to historic UK coinage and was used for decades, including after the 50p was reissued in 1997. Over the years, a wide range of commemorative designs have also featured on these coins and some of the most famous have been reproduced in this set. It contains reissued piedfort editions of the 2010 Girl Guiding 50p, the highly sought-after 2009 Kew Gardens 50p, the 2007 Scouting 50p, the 2004 Four Minute Mile 50p and the classic Britannia 50p. These heavyweight coins are each struck in 16.00 grams of sterling silver (92.50% fine) to The Royal Mint's proof standard, which is precisely double the weight of their ordinary counterparts. Intended for collectors, proof coins have a finer finish than their circulating counterparts, allowing you to enjoy these designs as the artists intended. Each coin has a diameter of 27.30 millimetres. Two of the reverses show the original dates of issue while the obverses feature Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the date the set was officially issued: 2019. These coins come in the original attractive black gloss case with an information booklet and a certificate of authenticity as standard.Product DetailsMaterial: SilverMonarch: Elizabeth II (1952-2022)Finish: ProofAbout us The Britannia Coin Company of Royal Wootton Bassett is part of Gold Traders UK Ltd.
