A commemorative coin with a bun on one side and a fishbone on the other.

It could be a 50 cent coin but I think a 50 pence would be better as it is pleasingly 7-sided. It should however be refered to as a half-pound. The US version could have the nicer name of a half-buck.

Aletnatively if we wanted it to be a uniquely useful coin it could be worth 99 cents/pence

The perimeter could have either a latin phrase or something like the English pound coin "standing on the shoulders of pedants"

       "carpe demi" is nearly a Latin phrase.

       I like it! Especially appropriate on a 99 cent coin. That or a 101 cent coin.

       'aletnatively,' we could make two hundred slugs with a small emblem stamped on them and try to pass them out only to have them sit and gather dust under our beds.
