1992 1993 EC Presidency UK Large Circulated 50p in Capsule

Description

With a mintage of just 109,000 (around half of the Kew Gardens 50p) the EC Presidency is the rarest UK 50p coin to enter circulation. The 1992-1993 50p celebrates the UK’s presidency of the European Council of Ministers, and the completion of the Single Market. The design by Mary Milner Dickens features a conference table seen from above, around which are 12 chairs for the Council of Ministers. The UK is represented at the head of the table which includes 12 stars; one for each member of the EEC, placed in the geographic positions of their capital cities. This coin is no longer in circulation.
