If you have a very special 50p coin in a piggy bank or in your wallet or purse, it could be worth around 300 times its face value. The coin was released back in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens opening in London in 1759.
The Royal Mint says around 210,000 of the coins were made. Recently, one person sold theirs for £150, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Nine offers were placed for the coin, with the eventual sale price jumping up considerably from an initial 99p. The eBay listing described the item as a "Kew Gardens 50p genuine 2009 circulated Great Condition Fifty Pence RARE".
