50 Pence

United Kingdom | Currency Denomination

Something Missing?

The British decimal fifty pence coin (often shortened to 50p in writing and speech) is a denomination of sterling coinage worth 12 of one pound. Its obverse has featured the profile of the current British monarch since the coin's introduction in 1969.

It was the first seven-sided coin in the world. Geometrically, the shape of the coin forms an equilateral-curve heptagon, or Reuleaux polygon, a curve of constant width, meaning that the diameter is constant across any bisection.
