50 Pence - Elizabeth II Commonwealth Games, Gold Proof

The 2022 Commonwealth Games were held in Birmingham — the first time England had hosted since Manchester in 2002 — and the Royal Mint issued a suite of collector pieces tied to the event across multiple metals and denominations. The gold proof 50p belongs to a broader program that included four sport-themed reverses issued as a set, a structure borrowed from the Royal Mint's earlier Olympic 50p series of 2011–2012.

Spink's H105 reference places this within the current Elizabeth II decimal series, one of the final commemorative programs issued under her reign before her death in September 2022.
