Close Up Magic Bitten and Restored Bite Out Coin Magic Trick 10p

Product Information

Phillips has a history of placing words on coins, rather than images or portraits, as are usually featured on the obverse of commemorative 50p coins. The coin was released in 2013 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the British composer, conductor and pianist – Benjamin Britten. Britten was born on 23rd November 1913 in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Britten’s father, Robert Britten, was a dentist and his mother, Edith, worked at Charing Cross Hospital. Britten contracted pneumonia at the age of three and nearly died. He eventually pulled through but not without long-lasting damage to his heart, a condition that doctors assured his parents would prevent Britten from ever leading a normal life.

Britten was taught to play the piano at the tender age of seven by his schoolmistress, Ethel, and moved on to viola lessons at 10. His love of music flourished throughout his teens, culminating in a scholarship to the Royal College of Music. His entrance exam was supervised by none other than Ralph Vaughan Williams , who would later become Britten’s contemporary in the classical world.The coin marks the 100th anniversary of Britten’s birth, who is regarded as the central figure of twentieth-century British classical music. Upon returning to Britain after the war, Britten composed the opera Peter Grimes , which was recognised around the world as the first majorly successful British opera. Over the next two decades, Britten established himself as the leading figure in British classical music, composing scores of symphonies, song cycles, sonatas and operatic pieces. Britten died of heart failure in 1976 and upon his request was buried next to Pears, instead of Westminster Abbey, which had been offered as a final resting place. Since his death, Britten has become a polarising figure amongst British cultural commentators, with accusations of sexual impropriety towards young boys, written about in the book Britten’s Children , by John Bridcut.

The coin was also released in gold proof, silver proof and brilliant uncirculated (BU) versions. The silver proof variant has a mintage of 1,000. The gold proof version is particularly rare, with only 150 of them ever minted.

Phillips included these words as a ‘clarion call’ to Britten’s anniversary. The words are sung over the nocturne (a piece of music meant to be played at night) movement of the Serenade for Tenor and Horn , by Peter Pears, the English tenor. Britten was Pears’ personal and professional partner for over 40 years and Pears featured in many of Britten’s operas and on his musical recordings. The reverse features a portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley, the British sculptor whose effigy of the Queen has appeared on UK coins from 1997 to 2015.The inscription ‘FIFTY PENCE.2013.ELIZABETH.D.G.REG.F.D’ appears around the Queen’s portrait. The addition of the words ‘FIFTY PENCE’ on the reverse inscription is to compensate for their omission on the obverse face – their usual home. A novel, optimized strategy for the development and distribution of artificial intelligence technology by leveraging the possibilities of a distributed ledger. Specifically, its facilitation of open access/ownership, decentralized governance, and the ability to harness globally-distributed resources of computing power and innovation within an incentivized framework.

BENJAMIN BRITTEN’ is written on two sets of five horizontal staves bisecting the coin. The staves were added by Phillips to reference the piano, Britten’s favoured instrument and at which he was a virtuoso. In the space between these staves is inscribed ‘COMPOSER.BORN 1913’. The words ‘SET THE WILD ECHOES FLYING’ appear on the bottom of the reverse. All lettering appears in the upper-case, somewhat unorthodox script.

The Royal Mint has not confirmed any error versions of the Benjamin Britten 50p, so keep an eye out for listings that are trying to market these so-called ‘error’ versions. So do I recommend overall? Yes, I do. Should you replace this coin with all your other coins? I don't really know as I'm not a big coin worker, so this is good for me to have ready on me at all times and still do all the effects you can with the other coins. If you are a big coin person, this might be a very good alternative for you, but I would still hold on to your other flipper, bite coins, ect. You never know if you might still need them one day. The other two were the standard Royal Shield 50p (10.3 million mintage) and another figure from the arts – a commemorative Christopher Ironside 50p (7 million mintage). To pretty much explain how the ButterCoin is different is like Dano said, it has a different cut where about 2/5 of the coin can be rubbed away/ "bitten," ect. Because of that, the handling is alittle more different and you don't need 2 cuts.
