Rare 50p coin featuring King Charles III dubbed 'one of the rarest' - and it could be worth hundreds

The Atlantic Salmon design entered circulation in November 2023. These 50p coins are now beginning to sell for hundreds of pounds

One of the UK's rarest 50p coins has been found by a TikTok user, who boasts over 121,000 followers on the video-sharing platform.

Coin collectors are always on the lookout for the next best thing to add to their collection, especially if it's rare and could be worth loads.

In recent months, we've seen certain pieces become the talk of the town, like one rare coin which sold for £140,000 at auction.

Then on another occasion, a rare £2 coin featuring an "error" was believed to be worth thousands.

But now it's time to turn your attention to one special 50p coin, which is actually known as the UK's rarest coin.

While the Kew Gardens 50p coin is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after gems in circulation, there's actually another coin that collectors are paying attention to.

Now over on TikTok, user @coincollectorukoriginal, recently found the Atlantic Salmon with King Charles III on the back.

The Atlantic Salmon design entered circulation in November 2023. These 50p coins are now beginning to sell for hundreds of pounds, with one flogging on eBay for £153 this month.

And the TikTok user spotted this coin as he was going through his huge collection.

A voiceover can be heard: "This may turn out to be one of the rarest coins I've ever found. Rumoured to be only 500,000 made."

Then a man added: "Lovely, very nice design as well. Will definitely be keeping that one on the side."

The Atlantic Salmon has been dubbed by the online site Copes Coins as one of the "most talked about in the coin community".

However according to Coin Hunter, the 50p coin wasn't struck for circulation, so might not be easily found in change.

It's available to purchase in Brilliant Uncirculated quality. Since it's a new release, there's no idea whether the coin would actually enter circulation, the site adds.

Since the video was shared, it garnered 300 likes and a few comments.

One said: "Bro you are so lucky," while another added: "I found the King one on my bedroom floor."

Then a third gushed: "Nice find."
