There were only 210,000 Kew Gardens design 50p pieces minted, to mark the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanical Gardens in 2011.īut it's not the only one that will leave you quids in if you manage to get hold of it.
One of the rarest is worth up to £400 on auction websites when in mint condition, the Mirror reports. There are quite a number of 50p coins in circulation that are worth their weight in gold so it's definitely in your best interests to check your coins twice. You might not have two pennies to scratch together at this time of year, but if you've not quite finished your Christmas shopping, keep a close eye on your change.
