A special edition coin spotted being sold on auction sites for £2 could actually be worth up to £150 thanks to a minting mistake. Nearly 37 million Silver Jubilee Crowns were created in 1977 to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee - the 25th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms.
The rare currency was first sold for 25p when it was minted but many people kept it as a collector's item. Despite it being branded a 'Silver Jubilee' coin, it was not actually made from silver and was named in reference to the anniversary.
The coin, measuring 3.83cm in diameter and 28.28g in weight, features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on horseback while the phrase ‘ELIZABETH II DG. REG FD 1977’ can be seen written around the edge. According to the Liverpool Echo, the coin can be purchased on eBay for around £2 meaning it doesn't have a huge amount of worth.
