| Aanvullende informatie |
The large 50p was already an outlier by 1985 — the heptagonal format had been introduced in 1969 specifically to allow vending machines to distinguish it by touch, but by the mid-1980s pressure was mounting to reduce its bulk. The Royal Mint resisted for over a decade before finally issuing a smaller 27.3mm replacement in 1997, at which point the large type was demonetised almost immediately — an unusually short window between replacement and legal tender withdrawal that caught some holders off guard.
