The first royal Fifty Pence in piedfort sterling silver. In February 2022 Her Majesty the Queen will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. She came to the throne in 1952 and is now Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, the first to celebrate seventy years on the throne. To mark this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, The Royal Mint has released a range of commemorative Platinum Jubilee coinage, including this 50p. It’s the first time a fifty pence design has been used to celebrate a royal event. The reverse shows a minimal, graphic design, created by Osborne Ross, a London-based design agency. It features a simple number 70 with a royal cypher and the anniversary dates (‘1952-2022’). This is paired with a unique obverse, to be used only for coins in the Platinum Jubilee collection. Crafted by veteran coinage designer John Bergdahl its composed of an equestrian portrait of Elizabeth II within a garter and is similar to previous commemorative jubilee coinage. Struck in 16.00 grams of .925 sterling silver, this double-weight piedfort coin is from a limited edition presentation of 2,500 and is not longer available on The Royal Mint website. It’s offered in its original presentation packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
