Frequently asked questions
What makes a 50p coin rare?
Mintage figures. The Royal Mint publishes how many of each design were struck - the lower that number, the fewer coins are in circulation or in collectors' hands, and the more collectors are typically willing to pay for one.
What is currently the rarest 50p coin in circulation?
Rankings change as figures are confirmed and new limited editions are released - see the numbered list on this page for the current order, and our r/uk_coins Reddit thread for community finds and discussion.
