The most common Royal Shield 50p is the coin, with a mintage of 49,,, although this is not the most common 50p in circulation…. This design was first issued in as the first seven sided coin, issued to replace the 10 shilling note. New Pence Britannia 50p.
Issued from to In the coin was made smaller and lighter and the old coins ceased to be legal tender in the UK. As collectors, we often find ourselves focusing on the commemorative coins that turn up in our change, but how often do we pay attention to the definitive designs? Are you aware that there has been a release into circulation other than in the BU sets at all? Well done for finding one! I got all excited because they were all bright and shiny, but was a bit disappointed to find that they were ALL shield.
Hi Rachel, The Newton is even rarer. I got one from someone who visited the Wales Mint experience. Hi Paul, the Isaac Newton is a great coin. This coin is not meant for general circulation so it can not be put in to the charts. I do hope you agree on this, anyone can go to the royal mint and strike this coin, i do believe you can strike up to 5 coins per visit.
They should drop it now and move on. Would you like to see any more in the series? Hi, not really I think 14 coins is more than enough in comparison to some important historical events. What are your thoughts on the other coins released so far this year? I have always got my mintage figures from The Royal Mint as they make the coins,so they have the all the information you require if you are looking for sort of thing.
Hi Peter, these charts are only taking into account the circulated mintage figures, not the BU coins. The charts are missing at least 1 circulated coin — the Newton. It was circulated via the RM Cardiff exhibition and I found one in my change before Christmass last year. Im new to the collecting of 50p coins so this is a great piece of info for me, Thanks for that. Why does Mrs Tittlemouse not appear on these 50p lists? I collect together with 2 of my grandchildren and whilst 2 of us have found Mrs Tittlemouse we cannot find a third.
It will be exciting to see where they rank when we find out how many were minted. I have been lucky enough to find the not just once but on Ten occasions and I have kept them all Hope one day my children or grandchildren Will benefit quite nicely from them.
