This Uncirculated 50 cent was Issued in a capsule inserted into a coincard by the RAM to celebrate the Centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II.
As well as the Queen's portrait, the coin feature designs “symbolically reflecting the many facets of Queen Elizabeth II's life and legacy”. These include motifs of a horse and corgi, references to art and theatre to mark "her enduring support for culture", as well as some of her favourite flowers - roses and lily of the valley.
