The WWF 50p coin was issued in 2011 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the World Wide Fund for Nature, founded in 1961. The organisation was created to protect wildlife and natural habitats and has since become one of the world’s best-known environmental conservation organisations.
The reverse design reflects this mission through a collection of 50 small symbols representing different aspects of the natural world and environmental conservation. At the centre is the WWF’s famous panda logo, surrounded by images referring to wildlife, plants, water, energy and other environmental themes.
Is the 50p coin World Wildlife Fund part of a series?
No. It was created for a specific anniversary and was not followed by other coins sharing the same theme or forming a continuing collection. The issue simply marked 50 years since the organisation was founded in 1961.
Our table below also features other commemorative issues created to celebrate one specific event or anniversary rather than as part of a series. You can browse them to compare their themes, years of issue and collector values.
