The reverse of the commemorative £5 coin features two new portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, showing a younger and older image of the monarch who died on September 8 and was farewelled on September 19.
The design was created by artist John Bergdahl in collaboration with the Royal Mint.
It will form part of a wider memorial coin collection.
Howell said customers will start to be able to receive the commemorative range from October and "then we expect the 50p memorial circulating coin to be appearing in people's change probably from December".
The reverse of the 50p features a design that originally appeared on the 1953 Coronation Crown and was struck to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation at Westminster Abbey. It includes the four quarters of the Royal Arms depicted within a shield.
Between each shield is an emblem of the home nations: a rose, a thistle, a shamrock and a leek.
