Girlguiding

Description

The 2010 Girlguiding 50p coin, issued by the Royal Mint, celebrates the centenary of the Girlguiding movement in the United Kingdom, which has played a vital role in empowering young girls through leadership and community service since its inception in 1910. This coin features a distinctive design by artist Sarah Cockle, showcasing the iconic Girlguiding logo along with a stylized depiction of a girl in a guiding uniform, symbolizing the values of friendship and adventure that the organization promotes. With a mintage of 7,410,090 coins, it is relatively common, reflected in its rarity score of 2 out of 10, yet it holds a special place in the hearts of collectors and those involved in the guiding community. While its market value is modest at £0.5, the coin serves as a tangible reminder of the enduring legacy of the Girlguiding movement, making it a significant piece for both numismatists and enthusiasts of social history.
