2004 Four-Minute Mile 50th Anniversary Fifty Pence Brilliant Uncirculated Roger Bannister Coin
Royal Mint Fifty Pence celebrating 50 years since Roger Bannister ran the world's first recorded sub four-minute mile. This monumental achievement by a British athlete will always mark a changing of the goalposts when it comes to human potential. The reverse is a work by James Butler and presents a stopwatch and the exhausted legs of Roger as he finished his mile. The obverse effigy is that of Elizabeth II, here in Ian Rank-Broadley's artistry. This commemorative 50 Pence is struck in 8.00 grams of cupronickel alloy and enjoys a brilliant uncirculated finish as shiny as Roger's legacy to running. Your semicentenary of the four-minute mile 50p is capsuled in the original 2004 Royal Mint presentation folder. This includes quotes from the man himself and recounts his feat in 1954. This is a pre-owned Royal Mint celebratory coin, due to no longer being available new and direct. System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String] System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
