Finding a pretty design on a coin can be uplifting, but have you ever thought about how much it could be worth? One owner of a 50p coin decided to sell it online and it fetched a staggering sum when sold.
Should anyone wish to sell them, they tend to do well when listed on bidding sites like eBay.
The latest example saw 37 bids put forward before it finally sold.
As for the design of the coin, it was created to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759.
The Coin Hunter says the average price for a Kew Gardens 50p is now between £150.89 and £161.50.
But there have been reports of some selling for more than £200.
