The special London 2012 Olympic 50 pence coins have a reverse side of each of the 29 sports designed by citizens of England and Wales. In order to fit with the all-inclusive, universal image of the London games, the successful coin designers represent a rich selection of society, from a Manchester police office to a Bristol 9 year old schoolgirl. This has been approved by the Queen and the treasury. When announcing the coins launch, London 2012 Olympic chairman Lord Coe said:
"Coins are a part of the fabric of our daily life, so to have a range of coins designed specifically to celebrate London 2012 is a huge honour - made all the more special by the fact that members of the public have designed them."
