It was on the 27th September 1825 when George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 transported hundreds of passengers in England for 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington and Stockton, County Durham. 2025 marks the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway - S&DR and the world's first passenger railway journey. This momentous journey transformed how the world traded, travelled, and communicated from thereafter.

In 1675, the Royal Observatory became the first state-funded, purpose-built scientific institution in Britain, dedicated to improving sea navigation, cartography and timekeeping. The Royal Observatory is the historic source of the Prime Meridian of the World, 0° longitude, which marks the divide between the eastern and western hemispheres as well as the standard of all world time-keeping devices.

1675 年，皇家天文台成為英國第一個由國家資助、專門建造的科學機構，致力於改善海上導航、製圖和計時。皇家天文台是世界本初子午線（0°經線）的歷史源頭，它標誌著東半球和西半球的分界線，也是所有世界計時裝置的標準。

For the next three centuries, astronomers at Greenwich observed the stars to improve navigation at sea and to define accurate time standards that became an essential part of modern travel, trade and communications. Designed by Henry Gray, the reverse design features the dial of the Shepherd Gate Clock, the constellation Ursa Minor, the star Polaris and the Prime Meridian line shown on a globe. The coin also includes the edge inscription ‘PERFECTING THE ART OF NAVIGATION’.

在接下來的三個世紀裡，格林威治的天文學家透過觀察星星來改善海上導航並定義準確的時間標準，這成為現代旅行、貿易和通訊的重要組成部分。背面設計由亨利·格雷 (Henry Gray) 設計，飾有牧羊人門鐘的錶盤、小熊星座、北極星和地球儀上顯示的本初子午線。該硬幣還包括邊緣銘文“完善航海藝術”。

50 Pence – Remembering the Stories of the Second World War

50便士－記住第二次世界大戰的故事

On the 3rd September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany following its invasion of Poland. The following year, the Third Reich’s formidable war machine swept through Western Europe, but Refusing to capitulate to Nazi aggression, Britain vowed to fight on.

1939年9月3日，英國和法國在納粹德國入侵波蘭後向其宣戰。隔年，第三帝國強大的戰爭機器席捲西歐，但英國拒絕向納粹侵略投降，並發誓要繼續戰鬥。

Led by Britain, the US and the-then Soviet Union along with the support of the Free French, the Allies united against the Axis powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. The fighting in Europe finally ended in May 1945 with the unconditional surrender of the Third Reich and then in August, also with Japan’s unconditional surrender, formally ending what was the bloodiest conflict in history.
