The inscription around the obverse of a current British Two Pence coin says - "ELIZABETH.II.D.G REG.F.D." and the year. "ELIZABETH.II.D.G REG.F.D." is abbreviated Latin for "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor" meaning - Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith. The reverse has the inscription "TWO PENCE".

What year was the British 50 New Pence coin introduced?

It depends on what question you are asking: When was a coin with the denomination of Two Pence first used in Britain? -- The silver Two Pence (or Half Groat) coin was used in Britain as far back as 1351 as a circulating coin, and continues to this day as a part of the four-coin Maundy Money set. When was the large copper Two Pence coin minted? -- The "Cartwheel" Two Pence (so called because at about two inches in diameter, close to a quarter inch thick, and weighing the better part of two ounces, it was almost as big as a cart's wheel) was produced only for a single year in 1797. It was found to be too large and heavy for daily use and was quickly eliminated. When was the currently circulating decimal Two Pence coin first issued? -- The first of the decimal coinage in Britain (100 pence to the Pound, as compared to the old Lsd [Pounds-Shillings-Pence] system) were produced in 1968 - they were 5 and 10 Pence coins. The first Two Pence coin was not produced until 1971 - it was called Two New Pence from 1971 through 1981, and Two Pence from 1982 onward.
