The 2004 Fifty Pence coin featuring the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is a significant piece in the series, commemorating Sir Roger Bannister's remarkable achievement of running the first sub-four-minute mile in 1954. Designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, the coin showcases the Queen's portrait on the obverse, while the reverse features a striking design that encapsulates the spirit of athletic excellence and human perseverance. The use of copper-nickel in its composition further connects it to the longstanding tradition of British coinage produced by the Royal Mint, making it not only a collectible item but also a representation of a pivotal moment in sports history.
