The 1970 50 Pence - Elizabeth II

The 7-sided fifty pence coin, definitive reverse featuring Britannia, the design was used 1968-1982. These are the larger (30mm) 50p coins. SCBC: H1.

The Reverse shows Britannia seated next to a lion, holding a trident and olive branch. The design was by Christopher Ironside. As was the practice at decimalisation, the words NEW PENCE appeared on the coin so there would be no confusion with the existing penny value (which was 240 pennies to one pound, opposed to 100 new pence to one pound after decimalisation).

Edge is plain.

The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin. Legend is "ELIZABETH II D G REG F D 1970" (Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God Queen, Defender of the Faith).
