In 1953, Rosalind Franklin was awarded the Nobel Prize for her work on X-ray diffraction. She discovered the double helix structure of DNA, but died before she could tell anyone about it.
Rosalind Franklin was an English biophysicist who worked at King’s College London in the 1950s. Her research helped scientists understand how DNA works and led to the discovery of the double helix shape of DNA.
This 50p coin celebrates her life and achievements.
It’s been 50 years since Rosalind Franklin won the Nobel Prize for her groundbreaking work on DNA. To mark the occasion, the Royal Mint has produced a commemorative fifty pence coin featuring her work.
2021 Rosalind Franklin coin
The Rosalind Franklin coin is the second fifty pence coin released by The Royal Mint in the Innovation in Science coin collection.
