A UK 50p has been released to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s incredible life and reign, with a new obverse design featuring the King’s effigy for the very first time.

  • The FIRST UK coinage to feature King Charles III’s effigy by British sculptor Martin Jennings, personally approved by His Majesty

  • Features a reverse design taken the 1953 Coronation Crown, designed by heraldic painter Edgar Fuller and modelled by Cecil Thomas

  • This coin is now in circulation - the first ever circulating coin to feature King Charles III's effigy on the obverse!

The Memoriam coins are now off sale at The Royal Mint, meaning this could be your last chance to own such a historically significant issue. But beware! Remaining stocks are limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone!
