The Royal Mint issued British Pound coins in 16 different denominations, including this British large style 50p coin. They are part of the predecimal and withdrawn Pound Sterling coins series. The Royal Mint started issuing these 0.5 British Pound coins in 1969. They were withdrawn from circulation in 1994.

This large style 50p coin has a mass of 13.5 grams and measures 3cm across. The design of the cupronickel 50 pence piece features a seated Britannia with trident and shield on the obverse side, and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse side. Older £0.50 versions contain the text ‘fifty new pence’, whereas more modern versions simply read ‘fifty pence’. The coin is the equivalent of half a Pound Sterling.
