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:
- Features the older Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and has no denomination stated on the coin.
- Features the newer portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark and also has no denomination stated on the coin.
- 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 love this 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.
I have this coin.Mint condition.
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 the Ian Rank-Broadley error 50p coin without 50 pence on it in my collection what is the value for this coin.
I have the ian rank-broadley battle of britain 50p in my collection what is the value of this coin, I have seen the Royal Mint class it as an error coin
All the best Gregg
where is the best place to sell rare 50p pieces?
I have 2 of these
Where would be the best place to sell them?
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?

There is also a sliver proof version by Jody Clark which is dateless
Also a 2019 version in the 50years of the 50p military set
