The King Charles III Atlantic Salmon 50p Is Now the Rarest Coin in Circulation in the UK

The Royal Mint recently named the coin as the rarest currently in circulation in the UK, with just 200,000 copies minted.

The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, largely thanks to the huge variety of collectable designs that have appeared on its heptagonal canvas over the past 50 years.

Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors.

But along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on ebay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.
