A coin, that is harder to find than the Kew Gardens 50p, could be worth more than a hundred times its original value.
You might want to empty your pockets or check down the back of the sofa, as this 50p is pretty rare. In 1992 and 1993, the Royal Mint circulated an EC 50p coin.
The 50 pence pieces were minted to celebrate the Presidency of the Council of European Community Ministers and the completion of the Single Market. The 50ps are rather different to the usual ones, as they feature a design including a conference table and 12 stars.
