A 50p coin has been sold on eBay for a whopping £155 - and there are thousands more in circulation.
The rare coin was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759 and the Royal Mint estimate around 210,000 were made.
It features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with the Queen's face on the other as usual.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, change checking website Coin Hunter puts the average resale price for the Kew Gardens 50p between £150.89 and £161.50, meaning this particular coin has sold within the price range.
There were a total of 28 bids in the auction with the eventual sale jumping up considerably from the £5.99 starting price.
Royal Mint described the 50p piece as "arguably the most sought after" coin on its website.
It said: "Nothing gets people excited quite like this original 2009 design.
"Just 210,000 were released into circulation and with almost all of them in private hands, the chances of coming across one in your change are slim."
Anyone who is lucky enough to find themselves with the piece will be in possession of one of the most iconic 50p coins.
If you find a Kew Gardens 50p in your change, the first thing you should do is check the date on it.
This is because the Royal Mint reissued a batch of the coins in 2019 to celebrate 50 years of the 50p - and this version doesn’t tend to sell for as much.
But you could still be in for an exciting payday if you find one of these, as they can sell for between £70 and £80 on eBay.
