The Alan Turing Pure Silver Proof Fifty Pence Coin in association with Bletchley Park
Bletchley Park houses a top-secret history of World War Two, silenced for decades by the Official Secrets Act. During the War, Britain’s brightest minds — who were to become the Codebreakers — were recruited to work at Bletchley Park to intercept and decode complex enemy signals. It wasn’t until the declassification of wartime information in the 1970s that their secret intelligence work was revealed.
You can now pay tribute to Britain’s unsung heroes through this world-first Alan Turing Pure Silver Fifty Pence Coin
Best known for his work devising code-breaking machines during World War Two, Turing also played a pivotal role in the development of early computers. Officially licensed by Bletchley Park, this is the world’s first Alan Turing Proof Silver Fifty-Pence coin. The iconic design features a portrait of Alan Turing. Look closely at the coin design and you will see that implementing an innovative minting technique, the portrait is made entirely from code. Modelled by hand, in minute and exacting detail. The areas of shadow and light are recreated with varying densities of lettering. The reverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the denomination.
