2011 Weightlifting 50p, commemorating the 2012 Summer Olympics hosted in London. The Royal Mint released a collection of twenty-nine coins, designs chosen from 30,000 public entries. Rob Shakespeare, a police officer and former weightlifter, submitted the winning weightlifting design. In an interview, Shakespeare said that he was fascinated by the dynamic shapes of the manoeuvres and techniques in weightlifting and tried to capture it in the design. China topped the medal tables for weightlifting at the 2012 Summer Olympics, with five gold medals out of an available fifteen. Shakespeare's design features on the reverse of the coin: the outline of a weightlifter at the start of a deadlift. At the top centre of the coin face is the 2012 Olympic logo, and bottom centre are the words '50 PENCE'. Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Her Majesty the Queen is on the obverse. The 2011 Weightlifting 50ps are minted in cupronickel alloy to standard Fifty Pence piece specifications (weight: 8.00 grams, diameter: 27.30 millimetres). 1,879,500 of these coins entered circulation. The photograph for this listing is a stock image. The coin you will receive will be in comparable condition and as it was circulated will be much like the coins you find in your change.
