Joining other incredible British scientists and innovators who have been honoured on UK 50p coins, this coin has been struck from 22ct Gold to a proof finish.

Extremely high demand is expected, especially when you consider it has an edition limit HALF the size of the SOLD-OUT Stephen Hawking Gold 50p!

And finally, those three codes...

Code 1. GEARS.GRIN.THAN — Every 3-square-meter of the world has been given a unique combination of three words. Go to ‘whatthreewords’ to find out where Turing studied at University… 

Code 2. ‘ONLY A FORETASTE OF WHAT IS TO COME’ — Turing’s quote in The Times, June 1949

Code 3. Matt Dent and Christian Davies — The coin designers initials
