Comments

KUP z 1998 r. została również wydana w podwójnym opakowaniu z 50 pensami Unii Europejskiej (15 370 sprzedanych egzemplarzy).

Emisje z 2006 i 2007 roku zostały wybite tylko do obiegu i w wersji Proof, a nie w wersji wybitej stemplem zwykłym (zestawy BU z 2006 roku zawierały 50 pensów Krzyża Wiktorii, a zestawy z 2007 roku zawierały 50 pensów Ruchu Skautowego).

Proof z 2009 roku został wyemitowany w zestawach w październiku 2009 roku w celu upamiętnienia 40. rocznicy wprowadzenia nominału 50 pensów (limit emisji 5.000 sztuk).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The 1998 BU was also issued in a twin pack with the European Union 50p (15,370 sales).

The 2006 & 2007 issues were only struck for circulation and in Proof, not in Brilliant Uncirculated (2006 BU sets featured the Victoria Cross 50ps and the 2007 sets featured the Scouting Movement 50 pence).

The 2009 Proof strike was issued in sets in October 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 50 pence denomination (issue limit 5,000).
