I acquired this coin in a job lot I won in a coin auction, not eBay a few years ago.

Although the coin looks genuine, I am not sure now, has the weight is 8.10 grams, not 8.0. The size is correct

at 27.3 mm. I have checked other Fifty pence pieces and they weigh exactly 8.00 grams

Could this be a copy or fake?

I would be most grateful for your expert help.

In Spink's Coins of England (Decimal Issues), your specimen (with obverse by Ian Rank-Broadley and without denomination) is recorded as H29 and, as Pete stated above, it was issued in the various Royal Mint folders.

Coins with obverse by Jody Clark are recorded as H31, also without denomination although the Battle of Britain 50ps struck for circulation did contain the denomination (50 PENCE) .
