US EditionRoyal Mint reveals the rarest Queen Elizabeth II coins in circulation today
- The Royal Mint revealed a list of rare coins minted during Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign, detailing release year, denomination, design, and circulation status.
- The list highlights that low mintage numbers, special commemorative issues, and design errors have contributed to a coin's rarity and collector value.
- Examples include the 2019 10p A to Z set with mintages as low as 63,000 for letters Y, W, and Z, and the 1992–1993 50p coin celebrating the UK’s EU single market completion with 109,000 minted.
- Mark Loveridge, the Royal Mint’s UK currency director, noted that coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II were produced for seven decades, with unique designs released to mark significant historical moments.
- Over 27 billion Queen Elizabeth II coins remain in circulation, and rare examples can command prices far higher than face value, encouraging collectors to examine their coins closely.
