Description: This is a cupro-nickel 50p coin issued in 2000 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Public Libraries Act which gave local boroughs the power to create public libraries that were free to use. The obverse design features a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley which was used on all 50p coins between 1998 and 2015. The reverse design of the Public Libraries Act 50p was created by Mary Milner Dickens, a well-known sculptor and artist. It features an open book with the pages being turned over a library building with the inscriptions ‘1850’ and ‘2000’ at the top of the face, ’50 PENCE’ towards the right and ‘PUBLIC LIBRARIES’ towards the bottom. Good circulated condition. Happy to combine postage if more than one coin is purchased.
