London 2012 Olympics 50p Coins



Here are some of the coins which feature one of 29 sports on the reverse and have been designed by people from England and Wales. They were picked from nearly 30,000 entries in a Royal Mint public competition.

The designers range from a Manchester policeman and a delivery driver from Reading to a bank clerk from Preston and a Bristol schoolgirl. They share the honour of seeing their designs, which came into circulation last year, on a large batch of new coins that commemorate the 2012 Olympics.


The 50 pence pieces feature well-known sports such as sailing, swimming and basketball, but also lesser-known disciplines including handball and the Paralympic sport boccia.
