Frequently asked questions
How much is my 50p coin worth?
Most 50p coins are worth face value - you can spend them at 50p. A small number of commemorative designs with low mintage figures, like the Kew Gardens 50p or the 2012 Olympic Aquatics "lines through" error, trade among collectors for well above face value. Search our 50p Coins list to check a specific design and its current collector guide value.
What is the rarest 50p coin?
Rarity is driven by mintage - how many of a design were struck. Our Rarest 50p Coins list ranks designs by mintage figures, updated as new limited editions are released.
How do I check which 50p coins I have?
Look at the edge design, the date, and the reverse image, then compare it against our 50p Coins database, which is organised by theme and year and lists every Royal Mint circulating and commemorative design.
Are coloured or gold 50p coins worth more than the standard coin?
Generally yes - Royal Mint limited-edition Silver Proof, Silver Proof Piedfort and Gold Proof versions of a design are struck in far smaller numbers than the coins released into circulation, so they carry a higher collector value. Each coin page on this site lists every finish side by side with its issue price and mintage.
