2023 · Anniversaries & Historic Events · Commemorative
Price Guide: £5.00
The Atlantic Salmon 50p is part of the Royal Mint's ongoing series celebrating British wildlife, depicting a leaping salmon on the reverse. Salmon-themed coins tend to appeal both to general 50p collectors and to a crossover audience of anglers and nature enthusiasts.
As a recent commemorative design, most Atlantic Salmon 50ps in circulation are close to face value, while Royal Mint collector finishes (Brilliant Uncirculated, Silver Proof and above) carry the usual premium for their lower mintage and precious-metal content - see the Variants & Values table for the finishes we track.
