Price Guide: £5.00
Wheelchair Rugby - nicknamed "Murderball" for its full-contact intensity - is one of the most physically demanding Paralympic sports, and its inclusion in the Royal Mint's London 2012 sports series reflects the 29-coin set's coverage of Paralympic as well as Olympic events.
Struck in smaller numbers than the series' Olympic-sport coins, it's one of the scarcer, more distinctive 50ps in the set.
