A Pivotal Event in Great British History
On 15 February 1971, the United Kingdom made a monumental change to its currency, switching from the ancient system of pounds, shillings and pence to a new, decimal system. The day itself became known as Decimal Day and was a landmark moment for Britain and The Royal Mint, who struck billions of new coins for the changeover. From this day onwards, the pound was divided into 100 new pence.
For this reason, Decimalisation Day is remembered as a highly pivotal event in Great British history…
And now for the first time ever, you can commemorate this with the Decimalisation Day 50p, presented in its official collector pack…
Official UK 2021 50p Release
What better way to celebrate this day than with the nation’s favourite coin of the decimalised era – the 50p! Coins from The Royal Mint often record the most important moments but sometimes they make history themselves.
