The 50p entered circulation in October 1969 as the first seven-sided coin in British change and was reduced to its present size in 1997. The Royal Mint has used it for more commemorative designs than any other denomination, from the 1973 EEC coin onwards, which is why it is the coin people check their change for. Every 50p in the Florin House catalogue is listed here with its mintage where known and its current value.
367 coins are listed here, 126 in circulation condition and 241 brilliant uncirculated. Mintages run from 1,039 to 456,464,100 across the 325 coins with a known mintage. Values run from £0.49 to £329.00 across the 341 coins with a value. 61 Florin House collectors hold at least one of them. 156 values imported from Numista, latest dated 17 July 2026; 211 estimated.
