The shockingly expensive coin was minted in 2017 and features the Beatrix Potter character Benjamin Bunny from The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, released in September 1904.
A Beatrix Potter 50p coin is being sold on eBay for a whopping £149,999.99 - but other examples of the supposedly 'extremely rare' coin have been found on the site for as little as £1.90.
The coin, which features Benjamin Bunny from The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, was minted in 2017 and features the character on one side and the Queen on the other.
But now eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed multiple listings for the coin on eBay, with wildly varying asking prices.
One listing, by eBay user Bargaintoolsandgoods, shows the coin listed for £149,999.99.
The listing states that any potential sale will see 50 per cent of the total sum donated to charity.
However, other listings for the same coin show it being sold for much less.
One listing, by eBay user 1970chris, shows the coin being sold for £1.90 - a nearly 80,000 times cheaper asking price.
The listing states that the coin is "extremely rare" and that it is being sold as part of a collection.
It is unclear why there is such a large discrepancy in the asking prices for the coin.
However, the coin is likely to be sold for a high price due to its rarity and the popularity of Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix Potter was a British author, illustrator, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring the character Peter Rabbit.
Her books have been translated into 35 languages and have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.
Potter was also a passionate conservationist and helped to establish the National Trust.
She died in 1943 at the age of 77.
