For 2021 to celebrate the 2020 Olympic Games held in Tokyo and Team GB's participation, the Royal Mint have released a special Limited Issue Tokyo Olympic Games Team GB Piedfort 50p Fifty Pence Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.

The reverse designed David Knapton features some of the different sports equipment used at the Tokyo Olympic Games 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.

Piedforts are coins which have been especially struck on thicker than normal blanks.
As their name suggests they are closely associated with France, where from the twelfth century, they were apparently issued by the Kings as presentation pieces.
In Britain the practise of striking piedforts is later and less frequent, but medieval and Tudor examples are known.
