The Royal Mint has shared some of its rarest 50p coins, and one could be worth up to £150.
The coin was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759 and the Royal Mint estimates around 210,000 were made. It features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with the Queen's face as normal on the other.
While Coinhunter estimates the coins are worth around £150, one sold for a staggering £239 on eBay back in December.
