50 Pence - 1969 to 2009 - Price Guide

Britannia is featured on most of the fifty pence coin with, at her, the British Lion (also found on one of the most beautiful coin ever produced), an animal found on the arms of England, Scotland and the Prince of Wales. Britannia is a national personification of Britain as a helmeted female warrior holding a trident and shield.

In October 1969, 50p coins joined the 5p (shilling) and 10p (florin) coins in circulation, leaving only the three copper coins - to be introduced on 15 February 1971 - to complete the new series of decimal coins.
