He is one of the most influential British figures of the 20th century and in 2022, The Royal Mint issued a brand new 50p coin designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies. The reverse features a representation of enigma code set behind cogs in a touching nod to Turing’s code-breaking machine, Bombe. Also featuring on the coin is the inscription ‘Alan Turing’ – the perfect tribute to the wartime hero.
