You won’t find one of these special 50 pence pieces showing up in your pocket money any time soon though, as the coins are not going into circulation.
Instead, to get one, you have to buy it in a special collectors pack.
The commemorative coin, which is available in silver and in gold, costs a bit more than you might expect.
Even though it looks just like a 50p, prices for the coin start from £15, with a gold version setting you back a whopping £1,730.
