Price Guide: £10.00

Issued to celebrate Team GB's campaign at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, this 50p features the Team GB lion logo. Unlike the 2011 London 2012 sports series, this was a single design rather than a multi-coin set, and - unlike most 50p designs - it was not released into general circulation in large numbers, instead being sold mainly through Royal Mint collector packs and Brilliant Uncirculated/Silver Proof editions.

Because it saw limited general circulation compared with a typical commemorative 50p, collectors often rate it a step scarcer than coins like the WWF or Brexit 50p, though it remains more available than genuine low-mintage rarities like Kew Gardens.
