Battle of Hastings Coins
| Discover the Battle of Hastings coin series, a significant Royal Mint commemorative collection marking the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 1066, one of the most pivotal events in British history. Issued in 2016, this UK 50p coin celebrates the Norman Conquest and the defeat of King Harold II by William the Conqueror, a moment that reshaped England’s monarchy, law, language, and society. The design, inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, depicts the dramatic final moments of the battle, including King Harold and the famous arrow to the eye. Struck in circulated, brilliant uncirculated, silver proof, piedfort, and gold proof editions, the series includes both standard circulation coins and highly limited collector issues. Proof and precious metal versions are especially sought after due to their lower mintages and strong historical appeal.
This coin captures that moment in a powerful and artistic way, making it a key addition for collectors of UK historical 50p coins, Royal Mint commemoratives, and medieval-themed series. With its strong narrative and instantly recognisable design, it remains a highly popular issue among both new and experienced coin collectors. The London Coin Company offers a carefully selected range of authentic Battle of Hastings coins, sourced from trusted distributors and official Royal Mint releases. Every coin is checked for quality and authenticity, ensuring confidence whether you are collecting, investing, or completing a UK historical coin set.
