Description

Issuing Country: United Kingdom

Weight: 13.50 Grams / Diameter: 30.00mm

Quality: Proof 

Presentation: Coin as Shown

To celebrate the United Kingdom's Presidency of the Council of Ministers during the second half of 1992 and the completion of the single European Market, which comes into effect on 1st January 1993, the Royal Mint is issuing a limited quantity of 50p Fifty Pence Proof Coins.
Collectors will recall the commemorative 50p pieces of 1973 issued to mark Britain's entry into the Economic Community.


It is particularly appropriate, therefore, that in 1992 the 50p should be chosen to bear the historic design symbolising the special bond between the twelve member countries of the European Community.


With a mintage of just 109,000 (around half of the Kew Gardens 50p) the EC Presidency is the rarest UK 50p coin to enter circulation. The 1992-1993 50p celebrates the UK's presidency of the European Council of Ministers, and the completion of the Single Market. The design by Mary Milner Dickens features a conference table seen from above, around which are 12 chairs for the Council of Ministers. The UK is represented at the head of the table which includes 12 stars; one for each member of the EEC, placed in the geographic positions of their capital cities. This coin is no longer in circulation.



LOW MINTAGE - RARE -  Only 109,000 ordinary coins were released into circulation.
