The rest of the top 10 is made up of 2 coins from the ever-popular Beatrix Potter 50p collection and 7 from the 29 London Olympic 2012 50p’s There are no real changes to previous years with Kew Gardens 50p remaining by far the rarest 50p coin. See my order below for the correct order of rarity and mintages.
Although a great image, the order and some of the mintage figures are slightly incorrect. The Royal Mint has confirmed the rarest 50p’s for 2023 as follows in their image shown below. Read on to find out which are the most sought after. Collecting them as you find them is also fun and a great and fun way to encourage a form of saving for kids. Some 50p designs you might find in your change are extremely rare and sought after.
Is your 50p coin worth more than face value?
