Overview

Historical significance

This coin was issued to commemorate the United Kingdom's presidency of the Council of Ministers in 1992 and the completion of the Single European Market. It is notable for being of the older, larger size (30mm) before the 50p coin was reduced in size in 1997, making it a demonetized collector's item.

Estimated value

$2.00 - $10.00 USD (depending on condition; circulated common versions are worth less than uncirculated ones)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or scrubbing the surface, as this creates micro-scratches that reduce its numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from skin transferring to the metal.
