The **Royal Mint** has released plans for a **rainbow 50p coin** designed by LGBTQ+ artist, writer and activist **Dominique Holmes** to mark **50 years of the Pride movement** in the UK.

The coin, produced in collaboration with **Pride in London**, features Pride in London’s values of **Protest, Visibility, Unity and Equality**.

**Asad Shaykh**, Pride in London’s director of marketing and communications, said: “It humbles me greatly that the words that I coined for the brand- protest, visibility, unity and equality – will be on an actual coin, opposite the Queen.”

Royal Mint has said that a donation will be made to London **LGBT Community Pride** as part of the launch.

**Clare Maclennan**, the Royal Mint’s director of commemorative coins, explained that the coin is to celebrate a huge milestone and will “capture the spirit of Pride UK”.

This is the first time the LGBTQ+ community has been celebrated on an official UK coin. It won’t go into circulation but will be available to buy online.
