A new Queen Elizabeth II 50p Coin has been officially authorised by Buckingham Palace to mark Her Late Majesty’s Birth Centenary and the closing chapter of a record-breaking reign.
2026 marks 100 years since the birth of our beloved late Queen, Elizabeth II. This historic centenary is a national moment to reflect on her life – and possibly the last chance to commemorate her reign through official coinage. You can do that today by owning the new official Centenary 50p, giving you a head start on other collectors who may not hear about this release before the anniversary date – 21st April 2026.
A Rare Tribute in Gold
This Centenary 50p Coin features a specially commissioned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, finished in signature gold ink – a detail rarely seen on royal coins. Elegant and dignified, this finish pays tribute to the Queen’s extraordinary life and service, while ensuring this issue stands out in any collection.
Crucially, it is strictly limited to just 50,000 coins worldwide, making it one of the most sought-after royal releases of recent years.
The Closing Chapter of a Numismatic Legacy
For over 70 years, the Queen’s reign was chronicled through coins – from her first appearance on UK currency in 1953 to commemoratives marking her milestones. This Centenary 50p Coin represents the final chapter in Her Majesty’s numismatic story, making it an unmissable addition for serious collectors.
With global demand anticipated to reach unprecedented levels, early reservation is the only way to avoid missing out.
