A new 50p coin will enter circulation from Thursday (June 9).
The Royal Mint has launched a commemorative 50p celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pride UK. The coin marks the first time Britain’s LGBTQ+ community has been celebrated on official UK coinage, developed in collaboration with Pride in London.
Five million coins will also enter general circulation later this year, making the landmark design accessible to all. The 50p design, revealed by The Royal Mint last month, features Pride in London’s values of Protest, Visibility, Unity, and Equality in rainbows on the reverse (tails) of the coin.
