50th Anniversary Of Concorde

In 2026, the world marks fifty years since Concorde began commercial operations, a moment that transformed long-distance air travel forever.

Concorde was born from an ambitious agreement between the UK and France in the early 1960s, resulting in one of the most advanced civil aircraft ever built. With its unmistakable delta-wing profile and supersonic capability, Concorde routinely cruised at more than twice the speed of sound, reducing transatlantic journeys to little more than three hours.

Operated by British Airways and Air France for nearly three decades, Concorde became synonymous with technological confidence, luxury and innovation. Its enduring reputation, reinforced by record-breaking flights and rigorous testing, continues to resonate with aviation enthusiasts worldwide.

Official Royal Mint Concorde 50p

Although Concorde has previously appeared on medals and unofficial commemoratives, it had never featured on UK legal tender until the release of this 2026 collection. 2026 Concorde coins from The Royal Mint represent the first officially licensed British coinage dedicated to the aircraft. Produced in partnership with British Airways and Airbus, the series has been created with both clever numismatic design and aviation heritage in mind.

The reverse, created by Osbourne Ross, shows Concorde in flight across the globe, with the aircraft's name presented in the style of a split-flap departure board alongside the date of its first commercial service: 21 January 1976. Polished elements introduce depth and contrast, reinforcing the premium nature of these official Royal Mint issues.

2026 Concorde UK Coin Range

The 2026 Concorde collection has been designed to cater to a diverse range of collectors with various sizes, finishes and metal options, including:

All editions share the same commemorative design and feature the official coinage portrait of King Charles III on the obverse, created by Martin Jennings. Each coin is supplied in presentation packaging that outlines Concorde's journey from development to retirement. With limited mintages across the range, selected editions may prove increasingly challenging to acquire over time, indicating the long-term collectability of this landmark series.
