Who designed this coin?
As known as the High Jump 50p coin, nine-year-old Florence Jackson is the first-ever child to design a Royal Mint UK coin.
She won this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in 2009 after taking part in a Blue Peter competition. The Blue Peter carded version is worth hundreds of pounds.
The Coin Design Competition was one of the show’s most popular ever, with Florence’s design beating over 17,000 other entries.
