World coin hunt - "Achievements" -

Описание: In 2006,
The Royal Mint issued two different commemorative £2 coins to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of Britain's most celebrated engineers.
Two Main Designs
Unusually for such commemorations, two distinct designs were released into circulation:

"The Man" (Portrait): Designed by Rod Kelly, this coin features a portrait of Brunel wearing his signature top hat and smoking a cigar. In the background are the Royal Albert Bridge and symbolic chain links.
Edge Inscription: 1806-1859 ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL ENGINEER.
Mintage: 7,928,250.
"Achievements" (Paddington Station): Designed by Robert Evans, this coin depicts a dramatic view of the arched roof of Paddington Station, the main terminus of the Great Western Railway.

Edge Inscription: SO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE.
Mintage: 7,452,250.

Collector Value
While often listed as "rare" on auction sites, these coins were minted in large quantities and are common in general circulation.

Circulated Value: Typically worth between £2.50 and £3.00.
Uncirculated/BUNC: Examples in original mint packaging or "Brilliant Uncirculated" condition can fetch £9.00 to £12.00.
Precious Metals: Silver proof and gold proof versions were also produced for collectors and are worth significantly more (e.g., gold versions can exceed £2,000).

The 50p is a British 50-pence coin, introduced in 1969 to replace the 10-shilling note as part of the UK's decimalization. It is known for its unique equilateral curve heptagon shape, which is seven-sided but curved, making it easy to identify by touch and allowing it to roll smoothly in vending machines. The coin features a portrait of the monarch on one side and various designs, including the Royal Shield or commemorative images, on the reverse. A smaller, lighter version was introduced in 1997
