Royal Mint London 2012 Olympic 50 pence design Competition.

Posted on 00:26 by Unknown

Royal Mint of United Kingdom is organizing a 50 pence design competition. The last date for submitting Your design is on 24 april 2009. The competition is open to the general public and offers a winner the chance to have their designs made into coins and circulated. Contestants must select one of 27 Olympic and Paralympic sports to represent on their design; they may not include the image of recognizable sportsmen or sportswomen, and they must include the Olympic or Paralympic logo.

You can go to their official website at www.royalmintcompetition.co.uk for detail of the competition. The winner of the this competition will get £1,000 including a solid gold version of the winning coin. The winner is also invited to see how his/her design to be transformed into actual United Kingdom coins at Royal Mint.

For me and rest of this world, this competition is only for United Kingdom (sigh). The portrait of Her Majesty the Queen will be used for the ‘head’ side of the coin, so you will only need to provide a design for the ‘tail’ or ‘reverse’ side. You are free to draw your design in whatever way you wish, whether through a computer programme, in felt tip, pencil or ink. However all designs submitted must be presented on the design template. Below are some of the previous 50 pence design.





You need to register online. After that, they will provided you with the design template. The template includes the mandatory elements of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games logos and the value of the coin (50 PENCE). The last day of the competition is coming near. To all of my friend in United Kingdom who is participating, Good luck.

Update: The winner of this competition will only be announced in November 2009 by Royal Mint UK.
