Context
Originally issued to help the decimalisation process in 1969 with the Arnold Machin 2nd portrait only in copper-nickel, however a gold proof was not issued with 'New Pence' until it was part of the 16-piece set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 50 pence denomination. A gold proof was available in 2002 & 2008 with the slightly modified 'Fifty' Pence legend. This design was also struck in copper-nickel, silver proof and gold piedfort. Issue limit: 70. ©The Royal Mint, 2009 The design was used again in 2019 with the Jody Clark fifth portrait to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 50p in the Culture set.
