Benjamin Britten. Composer born 1913
50 Pence 2013
"Blow Bugle Blow. Set the Wild Echoes Flying"
I have been looking out for one of these since last year's Benjamin Britten Centenary celebrations.I shall keep it safe alongside the Adnams' Centenary Beer Labels and other Britten memorabilia from 2013.
Designed by Tom Phillips it is unique in that it is the first ever UK 50p to show both the date and the denomination on the obverse. There were 5,300,000 minted.
