The design has been approved by the Queen and it is the first time a royal event has been celebrated on the tails side of a fifty pence.
Clare Maclennan, divisional director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “The Royal Mint has a proud history of striking coins for British monarchs and 2022 sees one of the greatest celebrations of Her Majesty the Queen with the upcoming Platinum Jubilee. Marking 70 days until the anniversary of the Queen’s accession to the throne, the Royal Mint is delighted to reveal the commemorative Platinum Jubilee 50p design ahead of its launch in the new year. In recognition of the landmark occasion, this is the first time a royal milestone has been commemorated on a 50p coin and is a fitting celebration for Britain’s longest reigning monarch.”
Back in September, plans for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration in 2022 were revealed. The celebrations will include the 2022 Royal Windsor Horse Show, which will culminate in a 90-minute event in the grounds of Windsor Castle as the country begins the big celebrations of the Queen’s 70-year reign. 500 horses and 1,000 dancers and musicians will take part in the show with a floodlit Windsor Castle in the background.
What’s more, a program of events featuring a parade, street parties and a live concert at Buckingham Palace will take place during a four-day holiday weekend in June of 2022 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 70th year on the throne. And yes, the Queen is really hoping that her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle can make it for the festivities, too.
