Common questions
How much is the 2026 50 Pence - Charles III Concorde worth?
Verified sold prices for the 2026 50 Pence - Charles III Concorde run from £10.80 to £11.50 across 3 grades, taking the median for each grade. Condition makes the difference, so check the grade table above before pricing one.
Is the Concorde 50p in circulation?
No release into circulation has been announced. The Royal Mint launched the coin on 13 January 2026 as a collector product sold through its website, and its circulating mintage data lists no Concorde 50p. An example found in change would have been spent by someone who bought it.
How many Concorde 50p coins were made?
The Royal Mint has not published a figure for the Brilliant Uncirculated coin, which was sold without a stated limit. Its product pages give maximum coin mintages of 6,810 for the silver proof, 1,010 for the silver proof piedfort and 285 for the gold proof.
Who designed the Concorde 50p?
The reverse was created by the design agency Osborne Ross, in a release made in partnership with British Airways and Airbus. The obverse carries the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, which has been used on UK coins since 2022.
What does the date on the Concorde 50p mean?
The reverse carries the date 21 January 1976. That was the day of Concorde's first commercial flight from the UK, a British Airways service from London Heathrow to Bahrain. The coin was issued for the 50th anniversary of that flight.
Is the Concorde 50p legal tender?
Yes. The royal proclamation that authorised the coin states that the cupro-nickel 50p is legal tender for the payment of any amount in any part of the United Kingdom. It was sold as a collector coin, though, and was not supplied to banks for general use.
How do I identify the 2026 50 Pence - Charles III Concorde?
Check the weight 8g and diameter 27.3mm and the metal (copper-nickel) against the specification table on this page. The reverse design is described above.
History and design
The Concorde 50p was unveiled by the Royal Mint on 13 January 2026 at the Bristol Aerospace Museum, which the Mint calls the current home of Concorde. It marks 50 years since the aircraft's first commercial flight from the UK, a British Airways service from London Heathrow to Bahrain on 21 January 1976, and was made in partnership with British Airways and Airbus.
The Mint drew a link between the aircraft and the coin itself. Its press release says some of Concorde's engineers helped design the seven-sided shape of the 50p when the denomination was introduced in 1969.
This is a collector coin. It went on sale through the Royal Mint's website on launch day, no release to banks or post offices has been announced, and the Mint's circulating mintage data lists no Concorde 50p. No sales figure for the base-metal coin has been published.
The reverse is by the design agency Osborne Ross. The Royal Mint describes Concorde in flight against a split-flap departure board, with the aircraft's name set across the centre in the style of the board's letters. The royal proclamation words it as "a depiction of two Concorde aircraft upon a map accompanied by the inscriptions CONCORDE and 21 JANUARY 1976".
The obverse has the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 50 PENCE and the date 2026. The denomination therefore appears on the King's side of the coin, not on the reverse. The edge is plain.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
The standard coin is a Brilliant Uncirculated strike in a Royal Mint pack whose text follows Concorde from its creation to its retirement in 2003. The Mint also sold a two-coin set that pairs the 2026 coin with a 1976 50p struck for circulation, labelled as a limited edition of 2,026. A coin that has been removed from its pack and handled is no longer in the condition it was sold in, so check loose examples for marks.
The same design was struck in silver proof, silver proof piedfort and 22 carat gold proof. The product pages give maximum coin mintages of 6,810, 1,010 and 285 respectively. These are ceilings set at launch, not totals sold.
The proclamation that authorised this 50p also covers gold coins of higher face value with the same reverse, so the design is not exclusive to the 50p.
