Britannia

Description

The 2004 Britannia 50p coin represents a significant entry in the series produced by the Royal Mint, celebrating the enduring symbol of Britannia, which has adorned British coinage for centuries. With a mintage of 35,315,500, the coin is relatively common, reflected in its rarity score of 2 out of 10, making it accessible to both novice and seasoned collectors. The reverse features the iconic image of Britannia, a personification of Britain, standing confidently with her trident and shield, while the obverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Although its market value is modest at £0.5, the coin’s connection to British heritage and its role in circulation make it an intriguing piece for numismatists interested in contemporary coinage and the evolution of national symbols.
