Comment
This silver issue was only available in Brilliant Uncirculated and was part of the complete set of 29 coins to commemorate the London 2012 Olympic Games. It was also issued individually as well as being available in copper-nickel, and gold proof. Issue Limit: 30,000Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50p coin is that it features a unique design depicting various aquatic animals, such as a swimming dolphin, a diving whale, and a school of fish, all surrounded by waves and bubbles. This design was created by the artist Robert Evans and was the winner of a competition held by the Royal Mint to celebrate the 2011 Olympic Games in London. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolizes the connection between the Olympic Games and the aquatic sports that are a part of the event.
