  • Struck to celebrate the life and legacy of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Carries the classic 1953 Coronation Crown reverse motif upon the 27.30mm flan.
  • Distinguished by the official definitive coinage portrait of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.
  • An official British legal tender coin – issued by the Royal Mint.
  • Beautifully presented within an official case with a Certificate of Authenticity.

An impressive, official tribute Queen Elizabeth II, forming an eternal keepsake of her record-breaking reign, this official British legal tender coin is a ‘Piedfort’ issue. Struck from 16g of sterling silver, it is double the weight of Britain’s standard silver 50p!

Literally translating as ‘heavy foot’, but understood as ‘heavy weight’, Piedfort issues are usually twice the weight and often twice the thickness of the standard issue for the particular type. Pronounced ‘pee-ay-fore’, with a heritage dating back to 12th century France, Piedforts were often given as gifts to VIPs of one sort or another, or created for politically influential collectors. It is also thought that they were used as part of the approval process in the production of circulating coinage.

Celebrating the life and legacy of Britain’s longest reigning monarch with this highly popular minting technique, the 2022 50p Elizabeth II Tribute Silver Proof Piedfort Coin is a must-have. Click add to cart now!
