The world’s FIRST seven-sided coin was released in 1969 ready for the decimal switchover and amazingly, in 2019 it marked its 50th birthday.

During its lifetime the 50p has been issued in many different commemorative editions celebrating every aspect of British life, from sporting achievements to children’s literature.
