The Equestrian 50p coin commemorates a discipline in which the performance depends on the close coordination between rider and mount. Competitors must combine technical skill, balance and precise control, with success depending on their ability to work together throughout the event. Unlike most sports at the Games, men and women compete against each other in the same events and under the same conditions.
The Horse Jumping 50p focuses on one of the most recognisable moments from the discipline, depicting a rider clearing a fence. The image captures the concentration and timing required during a jump, when approach, pace and positioning all need to come together successfully.
Is the 50p coin Show Jumping part of a series?
Yes. This issue forms part of the London 2012 50p coins series, an ambitious commemorative programme built around 29 different sports. Rather than using a single theme across every release, each discipline was given its own individual interpretation, creating a particularly varied set for collectors to complete.
