New 50p Coin From Pobjoy Mint Celebrates Nurses and Their Values
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands last year,
The Pobjoy Mint is delighted to announce the new release of a 50 pence coin that bears a design reflecting the universal role of nurses and their nursing values. These values have contributed to medical provision on South Georgia in the past, during this present time, and will also continue to do so in the future.
This new coin features the values every nurse works according to known as “Compassion in Practice” or the “6Cs”: Competence, Communication, Care, Courage, Commitment, and Compassion. This code presents the professional standards that nurses, midwives, and nursing associates strive to uphold. These values are particularly relevant to South Georgia’s heritage, especially during the whaling era where the number of graves is a testament to how dangerous their occupation was during that time.
