Those involved in the coin’s creation have been excited about its imminent release. In an interview with Dezeen, Holmes said they designed the coin with the purpose of evoking “images of the original Pride marches – the hand-made placards and protest signs calling out the demands of the brave LGBT+ people who were taking to the streets to fight for their rights.” The coin was designed by an east London artist, writer, and LGBTQ+ activist: Dominique Holmes. These five chevrons, in combination with the rainbows, are a reference to the Progress Pride Flag.

At the bottom is a series of five chevrons: white, pink, blue, brown, and black. There are five rainbows which feature Pride in London’s five values: Protest, Visibility, Unity, and Equality. Its face features a silver filigree with a heart motif. The new Pride coin has the number “50” inscribed at the top. People marched in solidarity with the New York Stonewall Riots. More specifically, the Pride UK 50p coin commemorates the first UK Pride event, which took place in London in 1972. This is the first time that official UK coinage has celebrated the country’s queer community. The Royal Mint has historically used the 50p coin to commemorate special events. Instead, it will only be available online. On, the British Royal Mint issued a commemorative 50p coin to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UK Pride Movement, made in partnership with Pride in London.
