Interesting fact
The 50p coin commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday in 2016 from Guernsey features a unique reverse design that includes a cameo portrait of the Queen, surrounded by a pattern of diamonds and the inscription "90th Birthday" in bold letters. This coin is particularly interesting because it was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced in limited quantities for collectors. Additionally, the coin weighs 31 grams, which is slightly heavier than a standard UK 50p coin.
