The rare Royal Mint coin that could be worth up to £500 as 9 rarest £2 coins revealed

The Royal Mint has published its list of the nine rarest £2 coins, including a 2014 Lord Kitchener commemorative with a minting error still believed to be circulating in the United Kingdom.
Issued to mark the wartime centenary, a production mistake left the words `Two Pounds` missing on some head sides of the 2014 Lord Kitchener portrait, creating a collectible error, Coin Hunter experts say.
Coin Hunter reports 5,720,000 error coins remain in circulation and noted the first sale occurred in March for £500; they are single-coloured nickel brass and heavier than post-1997 £2 coins.
Collectors and the public are being urged to check change, as normal £2 coins remain worth face value while error variants attract collector premiums, experts and media outlets explain.
Bearing Lord Kitchener's portrait, the coin ties to the famous wartime image while uncertainty over error coins fuels collectors' debate on rarity despite Coin Hunter's 5,720,000 circulating estimate.
