Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50p coin is that it features a unique design depicting Elizabeth II in a boxing pose, which was created to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The coin's design is notable for being one of the few instances where the Queen's image has been used in a non-traditional way on a coin.
