The story of this coin was told by a collector from Great Britain. This is one of the 109,000 50-pence coins ever issued, dedicated to the country's presidency of the EU.
The uniqueness of this coin is that it has a double date - 1992 and 1993, when Great Britain was the head of the European Council of Ministers and the creation of the Single Market was completed.
The author of the design of the coin was Mary Milner Dickens. It is decorated with a meeting table surrounded by 12 chairs, illustrating the work of the EU Council of Ministers. The coin features the image of Great Britain, emphasizing its presidency at the time, as well as 12 stars for each member of the EU.
As this collector noted, the coin can be worth as much as £60, 120 times its face value.
