Since its UK debut in 1935, introduced by Waddingtons of Leeds, the game has stood the test of time as both a family favourite and a symbol of playful competition. From its classic London-themed board to countless special editions showcasing cities, landmarks and cultural icons, MONOPOLY has reached over 275 million homes worldwide.
Now, as the game celebrates its 90th anniversary, collectors have the chance to mark the occasion with something truly special – the 2025 MONOPOLY UK 50p Coin from The Royal Mint.
