Celebrate one of Britain’s greatest composers with our collection of Benjamin Britten coins, a unique and culturally significant addition to any modern coin collection. Issued by the Royal Mint in 2013 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, these coins form part of the highly popular British commemorative 50p series and remain a standout design among collectors.

Benjamin Britten was one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, and his legacy is beautifully captured in this iconic 50p coin. Featuring a design inspired by his famous work Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings , the reverse includes musical notation and text, making it the first UK coin to celebrate a composer —a milestone in British numismatic history.
