The Atlantic Salmon 50p depicting the King's portrait has been confirmed as the rarest coin currently in circulation, surpassing the previous title holder, the Kew Gardens coin.
With just 200,000 minted, the Atlantic Salmon coin tops the list of rare British coins, being 10,000 less than the previously rarest Kew Gardens 50p.
The Royal Mint’s 2023 figures reveal a significant event in coinage, marking the transition of King Charles onto UK currency with designs that reflect his conservation values.
Among the 10 rarest 50p coins, six are tied to the 2012 London Olympic Games, while notable designs from 2018 featuring Peter Rabbit and Flopsy Bunny also rank.
