2006 UK Circulated 150th Anniversary Victoria Cross 50p Coin - Rare Collectible British Military Commemorative Coin for Collectors & History Enthusiasts

 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.
