This is the 2022 50 Years of Pride Gold Proof 50p Coin from the Royal Mint.
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pride UK with this commemorative coin. This is the first time the LGBTQ+ community has been honoured by a UK coin!
The design incorporates the LGBTQ+ flag and was designed by artist and writer, Dominique Holmes.
Struck from 0.9167 fine gold (22 carat), this proof coin is issued in a wooden presentation box, with a booklet and numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Mint.
The coins have a limited edition presentation of just 200 coins.
The first UK Pride event took place in London, on 1st July 1972. Around 2,000 people marched through the city streets, travelling from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square.
After the last few Pride UK events were cancelled due to COVID-19 government restrictions, the celebrations are set to return in 2022 - just in time for the 50th anniversary celebration!
The obverse shows the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse of the coin was designed by LGBTQ+ activist Dominique Holmes. The design shows a series of rainbows, with the words 'PROTEST', 'VISIBILITY', 'PRIDE', 'UNITY' and 'EQUALITY'.
The chevron is taken from the LGBTQ+ flag and represents inclusion and progression.
