What is it?

It looks like part of a signpost. Is it a street nameplate on a pole?

A street nameplate it is, mounted on a streetlight pole.





Your turn,Richard.

Thanks Scifan. My challenge consists of 5 questions.

First, what is the total face value of these coins?

Second, which coin is the odd one out, and why?

Third, what is the collective name of the design on the set of coins?

Fourth, in what year was the design revealed?

Fifth, what is the name of the designer?

1.The total face value of these coins is 88 pence.
2.The odd one out is the 50 pence coin as it is the only one with the original design instead of the Royal Shield reverse design.
3.They're called the Royal Shield reverse designs.
4.They were introduced in 2008.
5.The name of the designer is Matt Dent.

RE: Question 2 "Odd coin out."

Is it the The (50p) coin &ndash; or "fifty pee"?
It's existence being relatively new to the rest of the coins. It replaced the ten shilling note in the late 60s. It was sometimes confused with the former "half crown" and the "ten pence" coin.

Spot on, Scifan. That was quick here is the set arranged to show the elements of the Royal Shield of Arms in relationship to one another, and the pound coin which contains the full shield. BTW, a big deal wad made of the fact that the seated Britannia would be missing from this set of coins.







Well, at the flip of a coin, you have won the right to post the next challenge.

Yes, you are right about the odd one out, Admiral. However, Scifan has answered the 5 questions. He's flipping fast

What is this? How is it used?

 

[KevinJS]

Actually, the 50p coin is older than the rest of the British coins. It was introduced in 1969 to replace the 10 shilling note, 2 years ahead of the official move to decimalization in 1971.

The original coin was twice the weight and size of the present one.

Correct,Admiral. As you can see,this one hasn't seen much use lately.

The Admiral has vanquished all comers for the right to post the next challenge.

It looks like a brick wall with a blurred blue and red object partially obscuring it.
