A bid of more than £130 proved to be enough to secure a relatively rare 50p coin on eBay. The special edition 2009 coin was released to mark the 250th year since Kew Gardens opened.
The Royal Mint estimates about 210,000 examples of the coin were made, which makes it well worth checking your change to see if you have one worth more than 200 times its face value. The coin features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side.
On Tuesday, one seller received £132.01 for their coin, reports the Echo. The eBay listing described the item as "Kew Gardens 50p genuine 2009 circulated".
