O'wise ones, does anyone know who the 2 motorcyclists are depicted on the back of my 50p coin. The number on the front of the bike in the foreground is No.9 the one to the rear on the left of the coin is No.4.

The helmets are very modern, thought it may have been taken from a well known photo. I have taken to collecting all the coins with these interesting backs on, got a few now.



Hope the pic is clear enough.

no mention of who, maybe it was never really agreed, but you can buy a 50p coin like that for only 89p on ebay
