Double-thick silver proof Fifty Pence set celebrating British culture for the fiftieth anniversary of the world's first seven-sided coin. Only 1,220 of these highly collectable piedfort sets were authorised by The Royal Mint in this presentation. The first 50 pence coins were introduced in 1969, just before Decimal Day when the UK fully switched to decimal currency. Initially, these coins bore the figure of Britannia - the female personification of Britain - on their reverse. The work of Christopher Ironside, the design connected the new denomination to historic UK coinage and was used for decades, including after the 50p was reissued in 1997. Over the years, a wide range of commemorative designs have also featured on these coins and some of the most famous have been reproduced in this set. It contains reissued piedfort editions of the 2010 Girl Guiding 50p, the highly sought-after 2009 Kew Gardens 50p, the 2007 Scouting 50p, the 2004 Four Minute Mile 50p and the classic Britannia 50p. These heavyweight coins are each struck in 16.00 grams of sterling silver (92.50% fine) to The Royal Mint's proof standard, which is precisely double the weight of their ordinary counterparts. Intended for collectors, proof coins have a finer finish than their circulating counterparts, allowing you to enjoy these designs as the artists intended. Each coin has a diameter of 27.30 millimetres. Two of the reverses show the original dates of issue while the obverses feature Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the date the set was officially issued: 2019. These coins come in the original attractive black gloss case with an information booklet and a certificate of authenticity as standard.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renowned for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by His Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

We are always proud to show off our previous customers experiences with you and what they thought of our purchasing through with Britannia Coins.

Easy to use website. Fast and easy checkout. And items dispatch next business day with tracking. Only thing is coins sometimes are not up to snuff and have marks or spots Etc. BCC does quality checks but can be improved.

Buon giorno. Avete un negozio online ben fornito e di facile utilizzo. L'imballaggio del prodotto è stato ottimo. Ho solo un reclamo da fare ! Ho provato a chiamare presso op vostro negozio più volte senza avere nessuna risposta , ho usato anche il vostro contatto watzap ma anche in questo caso non ho avuto risposta. Vi ho contattato a luglio e agosto per sapere se erano previste le spese doganali,in fine ho acquistato senza sapere ....

Very easy to use website I think you enter the website and there's the latest "live metal prices" with an "Enter Search Item" bar at the top of the page. I like the fact it has the search feature as the home page. When you search for the item(s) it quickly shows the results, along with images of the coins or coin sets. I like that, too. The only downside with these types of businesses, is that you can't get to see a close up image of the coin and/or coin set you are buying. I feel that, because this company buys coins from collectors, etc. that they will have several items that are the same, but in varying degrees of quality and condition, and then, when your buying a 2nd hand item, it's going to be a case of pot luck on what you're going to get. And so, if it was possible, I'd love for BCC to get images of each item that you're going to buy. This is so you know what you're getting before you buy it. That said, every item I've bought from BCC has been of a very nice quality. Two of the coins were of a staggering high quality and the two sets I bought were much better than the average coin sets from eBay. I would say that BCC are the best company in the UK when it comes to used and brand new coins and coin sets. Not only that, the speed at which they get your order processed and delivered to your door is very very fast. The packaging is also on point and highly professional. Also, and one of the most important things, I really trust the Britannia Coin Company. Their prices are very fair and their items are clean and in good condition. They also have a good standing within the coin community.
