Queen Elizabeth 50p listed for £300,000 but rare coin collector sends warning
The Royal Mint states the Queen Elizabeth II 50p necklace coin has a mintage of 456 million and is only worth its 50p face value.
- The Royal Mint clarified recently that the Queen Elizabeth II 50p 'necklace' coin is a common design with a mintage of 456 million, worth only its 50p face value, experts say.
- Amid viral online adverts, the Royal Mint released a list of rare coins from Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and a specialist warned that a £300,000 advert is misleading, prompting clarifications.
- Notably, the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p has 210,000 produced; the Royal Mint rarest coin has 200,000, and A to Z 10p letters have 64,000 and 63,000.
- For collectors, most themed 50p coins retain face value, with prices varying by condition, errors, and sales channels like online marketplaces such as eBay and coin dealers.
- The Mint urged people to check loose change as Mark Loveridge said over 27 billion Queen Elizabeth II coins remain and genuine rarities like the Kew Gardens 50p could be valuable.
