2023

Coin Information:

On 12th October 2023, it was all change for UK coinage as our 8 definitive coins (from the 1p to the £2) saw a complete redesign. Not only did this mean that after 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II appearing on our coins, each coin had a brand new obverse featuring King Charles III, but it also meant brand new reverse designs for each coin. The 50p was the first of the new designs to enter circulation in November 2023. It features an Atlantic Salmon alongside a design of interconnecting letter ‘C’s to represent King Charles III. In October 2024, it was announced that the Salmon 50p is the UK's new rarest coin in circulation, with a mintage figure of just 200,000!
