2022 United Kingdom 50p BU Coin Shield $130 This 2022 United Kingdom 50p Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin features a striking reverse design by Timothy Noad, showcasing the four quarters of the Royal Arms arranged in a circular shield formation, interspersed with the floral emblems of the UK: the rose, thistle, shamrock, and leek. This specific issue is highly significant as it marks a historic transition year in British coinage; it features the final coinage portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark on the obverse. Presented in original protective retail packaging from The Koin Club, this piece is preserved in superior BU condition, ensuring a finish that is sharper and more lustrous than standard circulating coins. As a 2022 mintage, this coin serves as a poignant numismatic tribute to the end of the Elizabethan era, making it a must-have for collectors of royal history and British decimal currency. Condition: The coin appears to be in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, as it remains sealed in its original protective retail blister pack from The Koin Club. It shows high luster with no visible signs of circulation or wear, though minor surface contact marks can occur during the automated minting and packaging process. Mint: This coin was struck by the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales. Metal content: It is composed of cupro-nickel, a standard alloy for modern British fractional currency. Historical context: This 2022 50p features the Royal Arms Shield design and is a significant transitional year issue, marking the final year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. These specific retail-packed BU versions are marketed to collectors rather than released for general circulation. Strike type: The strike is Brilliant Uncirculated, which is a higher quality standard than general circulation strikes, featuring more defined details and a brighter finish. Grading if known: The coin is not professionally graded by a third-party service like NGC or PCGS; it is currently held in its original manufacturer "Certified Brilliant Uncirculated" packaging. 50p coin, United Kingdom, The Koin Club, commemorative, numismatics, British currency, heptagon, royal shield, uncirculated, collectible, 2022, silver color, purple card, coin collection 50p coin, United Kingdom 50p, The Koin Club, commemorative coin, British currency, numismatics, uncirculated coin, coin collecting, Royal Mint 50p, silver coin Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions -BIDDER/BUYER To determine the items' Condition, Completeness, Authenticity, and Grade. - Fulfillment of contract of bid, understands there are no refunds or chargebacks, items are “As Is” The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Party Grading is that of the 3rd party and not done by us -Gold, Silver, Platinum, Cop
