Rare Royal Mint 20p coin selling for more than 250 times its face value
Collectors are urged to check their change after about 250,000 undated 20p coins from 2008 entered circulation, the Royal Mint said.
- A rare 20p coin recently sold at an online auction for £50, representing 250 times its face value.
- The Royal Mint produced the undated coin due to a 2008 production error that misaligned the date with the Queen's head.
- Around 250,000 of these 'mule' coins entered circulation, marking the first time British currency appeared without a date in more than 300 years.
- The distinctive error makes the coin a valuable collector's item, prompting experts to encourage the public to check their change for the rare British piece.
- Coin value depends on mintage and condition, with some collectors preferring professional dealers over online sales for more robust valuations.
