IT'S worth having a dig around your loose change for any rare and valuable 50p coins. The Royal Mint, the official maker of British coins, regularly puts limited edition pieces into general circulation. In some cases, extremely rare 50p pieces have sold for a whopping £950.

So it's worth rummaging through your purse or wallet to see if you got anything worth potentially hundreds of pounds. You can figure out how rare a coin is, by checking its mintage figures. This relates to how many coins were produced by The Royal Mint.

If a coin has a low mintage, it means there's less in circulation and is therefore rarer and it could potentially be worth more than its face value. Either way, you'll want to keep an eye out for some in particular which can sell for big numbers. Here are some rare and valuable 50p coins.

Kew Gardens is famous for its stunning gardens and scenery. But despite the design, it's not so easy to get a hold of this coin, of which there are just 210,000 in circulation. We've seen the coin which was minted in 2009 sell for as much as £707 before on eBay.

However more recently it sold for £320 with 40 bids on October 13. Minted in 2023, the Salmon 50p depicts a salmon fish jumping out of the Atlantic ocean and has King Charles III on the other side. This makes The Atlantic Salmon coin the first to represent the Kings' face.

There are only 200,000 of the coins in circulation, making this coin quite a rare find. The Atlantic Salmon coin has been dubbed by the online coin site Copes Coins as one of the "most talked about coins in the coin community", RedditchAdvisor reports.
