1969 and 2019 Britannia 50p Pair
Basket-icon0

United Kingdom Britannia 50p Pair

Since its introduction in 1969 the 50p has become the UK’s most-collected coin.

It was the first heptagonal-shaped coin to be issued and was the only such coin in circulation in the world, making it a numismatic first.

Today, you can secure the original 1969 50p and the 2019 50th Anniversary of the 50p coin for your collection with the United Kingdom Britannia 50p Pair.

Your Britannia 50ps

The 1969 50p Britannia Definitive features Christopher Ironside’s iconic design of Britannia, seated beside a lion, with a trident in her right hand and olive branch in her left.

In 2019, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 50p, The Royal Mint issued a brand new 50p, which gives a seriously nostalgic nod to one of Britain’s favourite ever coins – with a clever twist.

The Official 50th Anniversary 50p coin features a never-before-seen mintmark, a 50p minting first and the original denomination of ‘NEW PENCE’ inscribed – this has not been seen on a coin since 1981!
