Design a Coin for the 2012 London Olympics
Following the success of Matthew Dent in the 2005 Royal Mint Coin Design Competition, the Mint have announced another public competition to design a coin, or series of coins for the 2012 London XXX Olympic Games.
All the designs will be for a series of fifty pences.

According to the Royal Mint:

Know the rules of the game.

The portrait of Her Majesty the Queen will be used for the ‘head’ side of the coin, so you will only need to provide a design for the ‘tail’ or ‘reverse’ side.

When you register online you will be provided with the design template. The template includes the mandatory elements of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games logos and the value of the coin (50 PENCE).

You are free to draw your design in whatever way you wish, whether through a computer programme, in felt tip, pencil or ink. However all designs submitted must be presented on the design template.
