The 2019 50 Pence Coin - Sherlock HolmesIn 2019 the Royal Mint decided to commemorate Sherlock Holmes with a 50p coin. Sherlock Holmes is probably the most famous fictional detective of all time and was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930).
The reverse was designed by Stephen Raw and shows a silhouette of Sherlock Holmes with his famous pipe and deerstalker hat.
In small print is a list of the famous Holmes stories, the deliberately small font so that you can use another tool of the iconic sleuth, a magnifying glass, to read the clues.
The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.For more information, see the 2019 Sherlock Holmes Gold Proof Fifty Pence Piece.
