The Royal Mint held an open competition to design the reverse of each of the 29 50p coins, representing the 29 sports of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Over 30,000 entries were received from members of the public. As a result, this is perhaps the most vibrant, creative and passionate collection The Royal Mint has ever issued.
The winning designs were chosen by The Royal Mint Advisory Committee and officially approved by Her Majesty The Queen. The obverse of all 29 coins features the familiar, graceful portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS which has appeared on all legal tender UK coinage since 1998.
