If you see an image of Kew Gardens on one of your 50p pieces, you're in the money. For, the Manchester Evening News reports, that particular coin has once again topped the most wanted 50p coin index.
According to the Change Checker eBay tracker, it can fetch £156 on the auction site - but can go as high as £250. The coin was issued in 2009 to mark 250 years since the Kew Gardens opening in 1759, and there are only 210,000 in circulation.
The 2011 triathlon 50p is also valuable with around 1,163,500 in circulation. It is worth between £8 and £11.
The scarce 10p list is headed by the alphabet A to Z collection, released in 2018 and 2019 to celebrate all things British. The set consists of 26 coins to correspond with the 26 letters of the alphabet. The whole uncirculated collection could be purchased for £52 from The Royal Mint when it was first released - and the rarest of all is R for Robin.
The top three coins in terms of the rarest £2 pieces are all from the Commonwealth Games 2002 collection. The coins dated 2002 were created to mark the 17th games which were hosted in Manchester. The most sought after is the Northern Ireland version, followed by Scotland and England.
All versions feature the same base design but the Northern Ireland version, of which there are 485,500 in circulation, are currently selling for around £50 on eBay.
