50p coin marking Queen’s Platinum Jubilee to enter circulation in February

The first 50p coin to enter circulation in commemoration of a royal event will be released through post offices from next month.

The design to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, by artists Osborne Ross, features a number 70 engraved on the tails side of the coin, with the monarch’s cypher and dates of reign framed inside the zero.

A maximum of 5,000,070 will be minted in a further nod to the monarch’s 70 years on the throne.
