This 2020 Cutty Sark 50p is the 3rd in the Tall Ship series and released on behalf of British Indian Ocean Territory to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of The First Voyage of The Cutty Sark.
The Cutty Sark is a British Clipper ship that was built on the River Clyde in 1869. She was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development, which was when sails started to be substituted for steam.
The obverse of the coin features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II produced exclusively by Pobjoy Mint and comes presented in a Special Presentation Pack with a limited issue of 2,750.
There is also a Proof Sterling Silver available with an incredibly low issue limit of just 175!
