EXCLUSIVE DESIGN REVEAL: THE UK’s FIRST ROYAL 50P

The new design features the all-important number ‘70’, representing the 70 years that the Queen has been our Sovereign.

The Royal Proclamation has confirmed that the nation’s FIRST Royal 50p will be issued in a range of specifications (including Platinum, Gold, Silver and of course Cupro-nickel).

We’re really hoping that we’ll see these 50p coins in circulation, and we’re expecting serious collector demand rivalling that seen in 1977 and 2002.

And that’s not all!

Intriguing alternative Queen’s head design

It has also been confirmed there will be an exciting alternative Queen’s Head design.

For now, that design still remains TOP SECRET, but we do know that it’s going to portray Her Majesty on horseback, in what appears to be a nod to her original 1953 Coronation Crown
