Comment
This is the second time a gold piedfort version has been issued of this design the first being in 2009 with Ian Rank Broadley's 4th portrait in the 16-piece sets to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 50 pence denomination. Although the design was first released in 1994 with Raphael David Maklouf's 3rd portrait a gold piedfort was not issued. This Jody Clark 5th portrait issue, forms part of the 5-coin British Military set celebrating 50 years of the 50p.Issue Limit: 50
