Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50p coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by sculptor and designer, David Knapton. The design depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, with the inscription "ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D" (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith) along the rim. The coin's design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also symbolic, as the oak leaves represent strength and durability, which are qualities that the Queen embodies.
