A rare 50p coin has sold for more than 330 times its face value. It sold for £165 on eBay and there are thousands more of the coin out there.

The Kew Gardens coin was released in 2009 to mark 250 year since its opening. The Royal Mint have estimated that around 210,000 of the coins were made.

The Echo reports the coin features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden. As usual, the other side of the coin features the Queen's face.
