In 2016 to celebrate the Olympic Games held in Rio and Team GB's participation, the Royal Mint released a special Limited Issue Team GB Rio 50p Fifty Pence Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse designed Tim Sharp features a swimmer, a design that celebrates the Olympic spirit and the athletes that compete while the obverse design depicts the Fifth Portrait of Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks. The Royal Mint have confirmed they have mistakenly printed some Cert Numbers over the 4,000 issue which were asked back to exchange but we refused.
(Issue Limit for boxed version was 4,000 but Cert Number 4,815)
Limited Issue of 4,456 Worldwide
Finished to Royal Mint's Proof Quality in Solid .925 Sterling Silver
Celebrating the Rio Olympic Games and Teams GB's Participation
