The 50p is the first of its kind to celebrate a royal event while the £5 coin follows the tradition of marking previous jubilees on crown pieces
Two new coins designed in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee have been unveiled by the Royal Mint.
“The Platinum Jubilee celebration is a spectacular first for the British monarchy and for UK coins, and it is fitting that this historic anniversary has been celebrated on 50 pence – which is Britain’s most loved, collectable coin.” The £5 crown has been designed by John Bergdahl and features a regal design centralised by the quartered shield of the Royal Arms.
