Whereas under section 3(1)(b) and (h) of the Coinage Act 1971 We have power, with the advice of Our Privy Council, by Proclamation to determine the design of coins to be made at Our Mint, and to alter any Proclamation previously made under the said section:

And Whereas by Our Proclamation dated the eighth day of October 2019 We determined, among other matters, a new inscription on coins of the denomination of fifty pence in gold, silver and cupro-nickel:

1. In paragraph 4 of Our said Proclamation of the eighth day of October two thousand and nineteen, for ‘31 October 2019’ there shall be substituted ‘31 January 2020’.

2. This Proclamation shall come into force on the eighteenth day of December Two thousand and nineteen.

Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace, this seventeenth day of December in the year of Our Lord Two thousand and nineteen and in the sixty-eighth year of Our Reign.
