Rare Kew Gardens 50p sells for £215 on eBay after attracting flurry of bids

A rare Kew Gardens 50p has sold for £215 on eBay after attracting dozens of bids from coin collectors.

The valuable piece features the famous Chinese Pagoda from the gardens being intertwined by a leafy climber.

It was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759, and there are only 210,000 in circulation - substantially less than other coins, where millions can be minted.
