Design

Diagram explaining the offside rule, designed by Neil Wolfson. The obverse carries Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II — used on every UK circulating coin between 1998 and 2015. Edge: plain (no inscription, no milling).

The rarest London 2012 Olympic 50p. The "offside rule" design — explaining football's offside law — became iconic; a public competition winner. Single mintage of 1,125,500 makes this the most valuable Olympic 50p in circulation.
