Most of those will never actually appear in circulation and will therefore never be used as coins – you have to buy them if you want them, and where’s the fun in that? RM (Royal Mint or Royal Monopoly?).

Twenty-one different 50p coins made during one year – let that sink in for a while. To round it all off we had a further Snowman and a Wallace and Gromit for good measure. Oh, and another ‘Strike Your Own’ based on the original Britannia 50p (this time with a mint mark and marked angles). Another set of five re-issue design 50p coins appeared later in 2019. Twenty-one different 50p coins issued in 2019! We had the standard shield reverse coin, a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle commemorative, Gruffalo x2, Stephen Hawking, yet another Peter Rabbit, two more Paddington bear, a re-issue of the original ‘NEW PENCE’ 50p (dated 2019) and re-issues of four other random designs from previous years, that, with the ‘NEW PENCE’ coin make up the first set of five coins to ‘commemorate’ the introduction of the 50p coin in 1969.
