A valuable coin minted in the 90s could be worth a pretty petty - £60 to be exact. People hoping to cash in on the 30-year-old coin could be in for a struggle.
It's considered a tougher find than the popular Kew Gardens 50p coin. Dedicated to the European Community - a forerunner to the EU - the 50p coin was put into circulation by the Royal Mint between 1992 and 1993.
Only 109,000 of these type of 50ps were ever minted, the Mirror reports. By comparison there were 210,000 Kew Gardens 50p coins made, meaning the EC 50p is almost twice as rare and harder to find.
