Very Special Collection of 50p's in the newer small format as we know today, thats right, the dual dated, ring of hands & the D day 50ps all in the smaller size and all dated 2009 on the obverse ! this Proof set is actually more sought after than the silver version !

All 16 coins bear the portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley, and all carry the 2009 date. The proof set is actually more sought after than the silver version, and less of them in the wild, with a Mintage of only 310 sets.

In 2009 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the first 50p Coin, the Royal Mint released a very special Limited Issue 50p Fifty Pence Proof 16 Coin Set.

Bringing together the 16 different designs that have featured on the 50p Fifty Pence Coin since its introduction in 1969, it is the first collection of its kind in the world.

These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
