2022 Fifty Pence Pride Coins Royal Mint Page - New Release Coming Soon

I posted about this a few weeks ago, and had to ask Admins to remove it, as I had mistaken the embargo date, but now I can repost this to go on with:

Celebrate with Pride - 

Introducing the Pride UK 50p Coin

According to the Royal Mint:

Built on the core values of visibility, unity and equality, Pride UK is one of the most enduring cultural movements in the United Kingdom. Over the years, the event has evolved from a political protest into a vibrant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, making Pride UK a true highlight of the UK’s annual events calendar.

Now in its 50th year, Pride UK is more popular than ever, uniting LGBTQ+ communities nationwide in a colourful celebration of positivity, solidarity and inclusivity. In honour of this historic milestone, we celebrate the legacy of Pride UK with a new commemorative UK 50p design created by the artist, writer and LGBTQ+ activist Dominique Holmes.

Featuring Dominique’s evocative artwork, the coin encompasses the very essence of Pride’s history in the UK and marks the first time we have celebrated the UK’s LGBTQ+ community on a UK coin. Made with support from Pride in London, this release is not only a celebration of Pride UK but also a numismatic tribute to the indomitable spirit of the UK’s LGBTQ+ community.

The 50th Anniversary of Pride UK 50p Coin will be launching this summer. Don’t miss your chance to own this piece of numismatic history – join the celebration by registering your interest today and receive priority updates about this wonderful new release.

I think the obvious silver proof coloured version shown looks great, although I think any monochrome versions will look quite ordinary.

Id rather not spend my money on this but if you are in to that sort if thing, great

[TeaTime]

Well that should appeal to 1.5% of the population.... Can't wait to see the designs for one-legged Wellington boot testers or short shelf-stackers..

A truly remarkable time to be alive and a welcome addition to the world of numismatics.

The coin looks a bit average to me.

With the colourised coins I get the impression that the colours will eventually fade and they end up looking worse than a milk spotted silver coin.

In all honesty I find the rainbow symbol can be a bit confusing because I associate it more with Greenpeace from back in the 80s than the nowadays pride movement, I guess it's a generational thing!

[James32]

Thanks for the nostalgia, I miss that show.

Not that you asked..but George was my favourite. 

[MrB]

I think it looks pretty. And despite the Pride theme, I do find myself humming along to the tune of, 'Up above the streets and houses...'

The coin is a 50p but identifies as a £5 😆

Nicest 50p design for a long time and a genuinely important milestone.

It'll be a contender to compete with supposed 'coin of the year ' I'm sure after the crystal maze ' diversity ' coin (allegedly) won.

Box ticked, box ticked 

Another nail in RM coffin and brand value and recognition

But but ' reasons '

Go woke, go broke it's as simple as that

As long as we support the current thing, that's all that matters.

I think it is a nice coin..and hopefully there will be a range of different  versions....we all have our own opinions on pride but posting photos of Rainbow kids programme from years ago shows that there is still a lot of prestigious- Anti gay views and still people who can't except the world is a different place.....shame on you for your anti gay views..but not unexpected as there are still so many anti LGBT+Q people who are stuck in the past and can't move on. That's your problem and to disrespect a coin that represents the LGBT+Q society.....well live with it and keep your stupid posts to yourself...my views and opinions and I don't care if it upsets some gay haters on here...get a life and welcome to the modern world.

I posted a rainbow picture as nothing more than a bit of fun towards the coin itself ( not the coins meaning ) i made no suggestions otherwise, so if your referring to me and insinuating that I'm in any way against any other person, or persons on this planet you have completely misjudged the situation ( not for the first time sharron) fair play for sticking up for what you believe in but in future please make sure you have a reason to do so.

To make this crystal clear beyond a shadow of a doubt in your mind, I'm happy and very content that every single sex/creed on this planet has the freedom to be or do as they please. I've gay friends and I can assure you I've never once judged or attempted to judge anyone for any reason. We are all equal in my mind and nothing or no-one will change that.

I'm going to leave this here and afford you the respect you didn't afford me,I won't jump to any mindless conclusions about your personality or traits,but if you truly want equality in the world then start with yourself.

Sharon I think you are way out of line here. No one is making fun of anyones beliefs. 
 

Everyone is free to be what they want to be or believe what they want.

The other day I took the mick out of a Kate Middleton coin, doesn’t mean I am anti Royal (although that would be perfectly acceptable)

I honestly think you come on here from time to time to take offence at something.

As a side note, people are entitled to their own views and if that happens to align with more traditional values, for religious reasons or otherwise, who on earth are you to tell anyone they are wrong. 

It’s a coin, Get over yourself Woman (or man, mix of both or what ever you ‘identify’ as)
