Royal Mint reveals the rarest Queen Elizabeth II coins in circulation today

  • The Royal Mint has disclosed details about some of the rarest coins issued during the period of Queen Elizabeth II's monarchy, including their release year, value, design elements, and whether they remain in circulation.
  • The rare coins originated from special editions marking historic events, such as the 2019 A to Z 10p series and the 1992-1993 50p EU market coin.
  • The rarest coins have low mintages like 63,000 for letters Y, W, Z and 64,000 for letter R in the 2019 A to Z 10p collection, with some designs featuring Britannia or Olympic themes.
  • Mark Loveridge of the Royal Mint said the 70-year coinage celebrated major events, and over 27 billion Queen Elizabeth II coins remain in circulation, encouraging people to check their coins closely.
  • The rare coins' value depends on mintage, condition, design errors, and sales method, with some selling far above face value, making collecting a popular UK hobby.
