Rare 50p sells for £234 after bidding war on eBay - and there are more out there

A rare 50p coin has been sold for 468 times its face value after being listed on the secondhand sales website eBay last week.

The coin in question was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759 and the Royal Mint estimates around 210,000 were made.

The 50p coin features the Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with the Queen's face as normal on the other.
