More about the Battle of Britain 50p

These special edition 50p coins were issued in 2015 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. They quickly earnt recognition in the coin collecting world as there were three different versions of this coin released. The differences are on the Queen side (obverse) of the coin as below:

  1. Features the older Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and has no denomination stated on the coin.
  2. Features the newer portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark and also has no denomination stated on the coin.
  3. Features the new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by by Jody Clark  and has the “Fifty Pence” denomination stated on the coin.

Error Coin or Intentional?

Quickly dubbed an error coin by collectors, the versions struck without the denomination were only originally sold in presentation packs. In the early days after release these undenominated coins were selling for close to £100 each.

The Royal Mint confirmed that the 50p intended for circulation later on in 2015 would have the 50 PENCE denomination.

Not only does this Battle of Britain 50p fail to feature a denomination on the Uncirculated version, but each obverse is different – a first for a UK commemorative coin.

I have a battle of Britain coin that is different to the one above. My one is considerably thicker than a usual 50p and was minted in 1994

That’s an old style 50p, no longer found in circulation. They are worth about £11 retail so you’d probably get £7 or so for it privately.

Be careful using the term “mint” – that obviously means something in the world of coins. Mint condition would mean you got it direct from the Royal Mint, which I guess is not the case?

I have a 50 pence coin – the Battle of Britain 1940, on the back it has 50 pence 2015 Elizabeth II D.G Reg F.D. Is this worth anything in the collectors world?
