History and design
This is a collector version of the 50 Pence - Charles III Steppe Mammoth. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The Steppe Mammoth 50p is the first coin in the Royal Mint's Ice Age Giants collection, three 50p coins dated 2024 about large mammals of the Pleistocene. The Woolly Rhinoceros followed as the second coin and the Giant Deer closed the set. The designs and packaging were produced with the Natural History Museum.
The subject is Mammuthus trogontherii, the predecessor of the woolly mammoth. The Royal Mint describes it as one of the largest mammals of the Ice Age, with an average shoulder height of 4 metres and a weight of around 10 tonnes.
This is a collector coin. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list no commemorative 50p dated 2024, and the Mint sold the Steppe Mammoth as a commemorative coin in Brilliant Uncirculated, silver proof and gold proof editions. It has published no mintage for the base metal coin.
The reverse is by palaeo-artist Robert Nicholls, who also drew the Mint's earlier dinosaur 50p coins. The Mint describes it as a scientifically accurate reconstruction, made with guidance from palaeobiologist Professor Adrian Lister of the Natural History Museum. The proclamation describes it as a depiction of a steppe mammoth accompanied by the inscription MAMMUTHUS STEPPE MAMMOTH.
The denomination is on the other side. The obverse carries Martin Jennings's portrait of King Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 50 PENCE and the date 2024. The edge is plain.
