The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK
Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.
Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The rarest is the Kew’s Garden 50p, which was designed to mark the 250th anniversary of the gardens in 2009. Only 210,000 coins were ever minted with this design.
