In 2006, special edition 50p coins were minted to mark the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross, the highest military honour for valour available to British and Commonwealth forces.

Introduced by a proposal from the Duke of Newcastle in 1854 and established under Queen Victoria's Royal Warrant in 1856, the Victoria Cross has a storied legacy of recognising gallantry.

To celebrate this milestone, the Royal Mint issued two distinct fifty pence pieces, reflecting the prestigious award's historical significance.
