I thought I had all the St. Helena + Ascension circulation coins, but
I've just found out that the 50p (turtle design) was reduced in size,
to match the size of the current UK 50p, in 2003. I emailed the St.
Helena Post Office to check, and got this reply:-

"Dear Sir,

The 2003 Coin set includes £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p & 1p

Yes, the 50p has reduced in size, but still has the same design of the
turtle.

The Currency Commissions has issued a coin set dated 2003 which are
sold to collectors both on and off Island. The presentation pack
contains all of the St Helena coins from the 1p piece to the £2 and
these have been placed in a small glossy brochure. The brochure
includes photographs of St Helena and Ascension, it also contains
information about the individual coins and the Island. It is sold in
a slip case and all of the coins are in bright uncirculated condition.
The cost of this presentation pack of coins is £10.00 plus postage
costs.

Hope this information is of some help to you.

Regards
Sara"
