Rarity and collector notes

With a mintage of only 210,000, the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p is the scarcest circulating UK 50p and the most collected modern British coin. Beware of fakes and later commemorative re-strikes, which are far more common than the original.

Original 2009 circulation strikes are the valuable ones; 2019 re-issues in sets are separate and worth much less.
