Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 180th anniversary of the Penny Black, which was the first adhesive postage stamp issued in the United Kingdom. The Penny Black was introduced in 1840 and featured a portrait of Queen Victoria. The 50 Pence coin issued in 2020 by Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) features a similar design, with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who was the reigning monarch at the time of the coin's issuance. This coin is a unique way to celebrate the anniversary of the Penny Black and highlights the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
