General Information:

This is a popular series for all serious collectors.

The British decimal fifty pence (50p) coin- often pronounced fifty pee- is a unit of currency equaling one half of a pound sterling. It is a seven sided coin formed as an equilateral-curve heptagon, or Reuleaux polygon, a curve of constant width, meaning that the diameter is constant across any bisection.
