The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), founded in 1961, is the largest conservation organization globally, dedicated to protecting endangered species and preserving the planet's most vital natural habitats. To celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2011, a special 50p coin was issued featuring a design by award-winning graphic designer Matthew Dent.

The reverse of the coin showcases 50 distinct icons, each symbolizing a different aspect of WWF’s diverse conservation efforts. These icons are arranged in a circular pattern, emphasizing the global reach and interconnected nature of the organization’s work. At the centre of the design is WWF’s iconic panda logo, representing its enduring commitment to environmental preservation. This intricate and meaningful design highlights WWF’s legacy and its ongoing mission to protect biodiversity and promote sustainable living.
