The Kew Gardens Anniversary 50p coin is the second rarest UK 50p coin, selling for over 350 times its face value after a competitive bidding war.
Only 210,000 of the Kew Gardens 50p coins were minted in 2009 as a nod to the gardens' 250th anniversary, marking its rarity and desirability among collectors.
The Royal Mint previously listed the Kew Gardens 50p as the rarest but was recently surpassed by the Atlantic Salmon 50p coin produced in 2023.
Factors influencing a coin’s value include mintage, design, condition, and selling method, with the collectible 50p piece standing out for its historical significance.
