How the shape evolved. In 1967 the Deputy Master of the Royal Mint approached the Decimal Currency Board to ask for their advice on introducing a new coin. The 10 shilling note then in use lasted only five months, and it had been suggested that a coin, which could last fifty years, would be more economical. The problem with this was that all coins were arranged in "tiers", each coin in a tier having the same weight-to-value ratio so that a bag of mixed coins could be weighed to ascertain the value so long as they were all copper, all silver, etc. Each coin was identified within its tier by its size, and each tier had to be capable of being identified by sight and touch. This was achieved in the then-existing sets by the use of different materials ("copper", "bronze", and "silver"), with the copper coins having plain rims, the bronze 3d bit being 12-sided and the silver coins having milled rims. If the 10-shilling coin were to be made in the same tier as the silver coins, it would have to be twice the weight of the Crown (then and now only in use for commemorative pieces), and it was generally agreed that that would make it very unpopular and expensive. It would therefore have to be in a new tier of its own.


The Mint needed help finding a suitable metal that was sufficiently different in color from the existing coins and which would not tarnish. This last point was considered essential because the new coin would be the most valuable coin in general circulation in the world (about £8.40 in today's values). It, therefore, had to be a different shape; various methods had been used overseas to overcome this problem, but none were without drawbacks. A hole through the coin did unacceptable things to the Queen's head (which is a legal requirement on British coins), and wavy-edged, flat-edged, or square coins could not be used in the coin-handling machinery which was then coming into increasing use in industry, banking and vending. To be used in a vending or sorting machine, a coin would have to roll under gravity and be capable of being measured without being presented specially. In other words, it needed a constant breadth at whichever angle it was measured.


The Technical Member (and the only engineer) on the Decimal Currency Board was Hugh Conway, at that time President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Managing Director of Bristol Siddeley Engines, Bristol. He had found in a mathematical textbook a formula for a non-circular shape of constant breadth and asked the design office at Patchway, near Bristol, which generally worked on the engines for aircraft such as Concorde, Vulcan, and Harrier, to draw out the shape. However, this turned out to be a wavy-edged form with re-entrant sides which would not roll and which could not be measured easily. A designer, Colin Lewis, suggested a much simpler shape which in its basic form is an equilateral triangle with a small circle centered on each apex and a larger circular arc centered on each apex but tangential to each of the two opposite small circles. Wherever it was measured, the breadth of this shape was one small radius plus one large radius. (The small radius was not strictly necessary to the geometry, but it made the shape more practical by removing inconvenient sharp points and reducing the rate of wear, and therefore a change of size, in handling). The number of corners could be any odd number greater than one. A drawing was made to illustrate the proposal, which was accepted by Hugh Conway. He chose seven sides as a compromise between too radical a shape, which might not be acceptable to the public, and having too many sides, which would make a shape visually difficult to differentiate from a circle. The shape was drawn out by Dave Brown, and samples made from stainless steel by the Model Shop, together with a section of perspex channel with a bend to demonstrate that the "coin" would roll around corners and drop through gauging slots. The legend "50" was photo-etched (from a master drawn by Ray Gooding) on the faces of the samples since it had already been decided that the new coin would be the first coin of the new Decimal series.


When the Decimal Currency Board met, none of the other members had any suggestions to make, so when the samples were produced, the idea was accepted without opposition.


The shape of the original 50p coin has been copied all over the world (with 3, 7, 9, and 11 sides), and the new 20p coin was made in the same shape when it was introduced in 1982.


Original reverse: 1969?2008

The original reverse of the coin, designed by Christopher Ironside, and used from 1969 to 2008, is a seated Britannia alongside a lion, accompanied by either NEW PENCE (1969? 1982) or FIFTY PENCE above Britannia, with the numeral 50 underneath the seated figure.


To date, three different obverses have been used. In all cases, the inscription is ELIZABETH II D.G.REG.F.D. 2013,[4] where 2013 is replaced by the year of minting; the Benjamin Britten coin (2013) additionally has the denomination, FIFTY PENCE, on the obverse, before the year (as the commemorative obverse omits the denomination entirely).[5]


As with all new decimal currency, until 1984, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin appeared on the obverse,[6] in which the Queen wears the 'Girls of Great Britain and Ireland' Tiara.


Between 1985 and 1997, the portrait by Raphael Maklouf was used,[6] in which the Queen wears the George IV State Diadem.


In 1997 the 50p coin was reduced in size, and the older coins were removed from circulation. The design remained unchanged.[7]


From 1998 to 2015, the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley has been used,[6] again featuring the tiara, with a signature-mark IRB below the portrait. In 2008 the obverse design was rotated slightly to match the new reverse design, which is displayed with the heptagon point down rather than point up.


As of June 2015, coins bearing the portrait by Jody Clark have been seen in circulation.


In August 2005, the Royal Mint launched a competition to find new reverse designs for all circulating coins apart from the £2 coin.[8] The winner, announced in April 2008, was Matthew Dent, whose designs were gradually introduced into the circulating British coinage from mid-2008.[9] The designs for the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, and 50p coins depict sections of the Royal Shield that form the whole shield when placed together. The shield in its entirety is featured on the £1 coin. The 50p coin depicts the lowest point of the Royal Shield, with the words FIFTY PENCE below the point of the shield. The coin's obverse remains unchanged. It should be noted that this coin is an example of a shape of constant width. Shapes of constant width are shapes that have constant width but are not circular.[10]

In October 1969, the 50p joined the 5p (shilling) and 10p (florin) coins in circulation, leaving only the three copper coins to be introduced on 15 February 1971 to complete the new series of decimal coins. The design on the reverse of the 50p coin features a symbol of Britannia that has appeared on our coinage since 1672. While this design may have been traditional, the shape of the new 50p coin, an equilateral curve heptagon, was revolutionary. This made it easily distinguishable from round coins both by feel and by sight, while its constant breadth allowed it to roll in vending machines.


With the introduction of smaller 5p and 10p coins in 1990 and 1992, respectively, the 50p became the largest coin in circulation. In October 1994, the Government announced a further review of the United Kingdom coinage. The results revealed a requirement for a smaller 50p coin, which was duly introduced on 1 September 1997.


Since its issue, the 50p has been used on several occasions to celebrate important events, each being commemorated by a new reverse design.


The 50p is legal tender for amounts up to £10.
