Windrush 75: Celebrating Jamaican Art and Caribbean Community in the UK.
The Royal Mint has unveiled a new commemorative 50-pence coin to mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival in the UK of passengers on the Empire Windrush, designed by Jamaican artist Valda Jackson. The coin depicts two smartly dressed persons from the Windrush generation and is available on the Royal Mint’s website in a range of precious metals and finishes, with prices starting at £11. The Mint said it is not currently able to confirm whether the coin will enter general circulation.
