The most anticipated UK 50p release of the year

UK 2021 Team GB Silver Proof 50p Product Images Coin Obverse Reverse - The UK 50p we’ve all been waiting for! NEW 2021 Team GB 50p

You see, this coin was never meant to exist. It was originally slated for release in 2020 but, as you know, the Olympic Games were rescheduled to 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is the first time that the games have been rescheduled rather than cancelled.

As a result, this NEW coin is dual dated – only one of a handful of dual dated 50ps to exist in British numismatic history!

Featuring the same design by David Knapton that was released in the 2020 Annual Sets, the reverse bears the date “2020” to mark the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the obverse by Jody Clark features the year of issue, 2021.

Last year there was phenomenal demand for the 2020 Annual Sets that featured the 2020-dated Team GB 50p, as collectors rushed to secure it after the Olympics were officially postponed. There is no doubt that these collectors WILL want to own the 2021-dated coin.

This UK 50p has been issued in several different specifications, so there’s something to suit all collectors. Take a look at the range below…
