Comment
The first time a royal event was celebrated on a UK 50p coin. This coin was issued to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and was issued individually. The coin was also struck in copper-nickel, silver proof, silver piedfort and gold proof. Issue limit: 150.© The Royal Mint, 2022
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Platinum Jubilee 50p coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by sculptor and designer John Bergdahl, which includes a platinum-colored effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by a pattern of platinum-colored flowers and leaves, symbolizing the Queen's 75 years on the throne.
