VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM The Royal Mint revealed a commemorative 50p celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pride UK on Wednesday (18May2022). The coin marks the first time Britain???s LGBTQ+ community has been celebrated on official UK coinage. Designed by Dominique Holmes, an east London artist, writer, and LGBTQ+ activist, the coin design features Pride in London???s values of Protest, Visibility, Unity, and Equality in rainbows. With state-of-the-art colour printing technology, the iconic colours of the Pride progression flag are recreated with special-edition colour versions of the silver and BU coins. Since the first official Pride UK event in 1972, the Pride UK movement has been one of significant political and cultural importance. Now in its 50th year, Pride UK is more popular than ever and continues to stand up for the rights of Britain???s LGBTQ+ community. Asad Shaykh, Director of Marketing and Communications at Pride in London said, ??sIt was a privilege to visit The Royal Mint as part of our partnership and see our coin being made. ??sIt humbles me greatly that the words that I coined for the brand, PROTEST, VISIBILITY, UNITY & EQUALITY - will be on an actual coin, opposite the Queen. This queer brown immigrant has come a long way, powered by hope, love and this city. Nowhere in the world had this been possible, except the UK. Pride in London feels very proud today.??? Clare Maclennan, Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint said, ??sThe 50th Anniversary of Pride UK is a milestone celebration, and it is a privilege to mark 50 years of progress with this 50p coin. This is the first ever UK coin dedicated to Britain???s LGBTQ+ community, with colour printing technology capturing the spirit of Pride UK with its iconic rainbow colours. ??sIt was an honour to host representatives from Pride in London at The Royal Mint recently to strike their own coins as part of the launch and discuss with them our commitment to diversity and inclusion within the business and show how we are reinventing for the future.??? As part of the launch, The Royal Mint will make a financial contribution to London LGBT Community Pride. The 50p will not enter circulation but will be available to purchase via The Royal Mint website this summer. The range includes gold, silver, and brilliant uncirculated versions. LGBTQ+ Britons and their allies will celebrate Pride Month in June - with events taking place across the country.
