Own the Rosalind Franklin 50p in superior silver proof quality

Rosalind Franklin is one of Britain’s best scientific minds. Without her ground-breaking research we would not understand the complexities of DNA as we do today.

To mark the 100th anniversary of her birth, and to celebrate her legacy, in 2020 The Royal Mint authorised a UK 50p to be issued, as part of their Innovation in Science series.

Rosalind Franklin at the heart of the DNA story

Struck from .925 silver to an immaculate proof finish this 50p coin has been designed by David Knapton and features the infamous Photograph 51 that led Franklin to her discovery that DNA has a double helix structure.

High demand expected

Crucially, JUST 3,500 single coins have been issued worldwide.

Demand was unprecedented for the first coin in the Innovation in Science series – the Stephen Hawking 50p. The entire 5,500 Silver Proof edition limit SOLD OUT in record time – just a matter of hours.

The significantly reduced edition limit means that there will be 5,500 collectors eager to continue the Innovation in Science series, but ONLY TWO THIRDS of them will be able to own this new issue.
