Coin Information:

This 50p was issued to represent the impactful stories of those who lived through World War II, that will unfortunately soon fade from living memory. It also marked a historic first for British coinage, as it was the first UK 50p to feature two different Kings - King George VI on the reverse and His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse. The design was created by Timothy Noad with the assistance of Imperial War Museums, and depicts the medals awarded to millions who contributed to the cause. The medals featured include the 1939-45 Star, Defence Medal and War Medal, representing the countless unique experiences of the Second World War.
