In 2009 the Royal Mint in conjunction with the Blue Peter Coin Design Competition, released a very special Limited Issue Blue Peter Brilliant Uncirculated 50p Fifty Pence Coin to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Nine Year old Florence Jackson, from Bristol, is revealed as the first child ever to work with the Royal Mint to design a UK coin. Florence won the once in a lifetime opportunity to design a coin celebrating London 2012 by taking part in a Blue Peter's competition. The competition proved one of the show's all time most popular, with Florence beating over 17,000 other entries. The reverse design features an Athlete while the obverse has the stunning portrait of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
