đź’° Ever found treasure in your pocket? A rare Kew Gardens 50p coin just sold for an incredible ÂŁ322.88 on eBay! That’s a whopping 645 times its original value! 🌿💷 Only 210,000 of these coins were minted in 2009 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the beautiful Kew Gardens in Richmond, south east London. Featuring the iconic Chinese Pagoda, the coin’s design is just as stunning as the gardens themselves, which boast over 30,000 plant species!
The seller knew it was a gem and wasn’t entertaining any lower offers—he’d rather keep it than sell for less. But one determined collector was more than willing to pay the price, shelling out for the buy-it-now listing plus a bit for postage.
These coins, especially the original 2009 version, are highly sought after, sparking a rummage in purses and wallets all over the UK. Don’t confuse it with the 2019 reissue though, which features a newer image of Queen Elizabeth II. If you’re lucky enough to have the original, you might be sitting on a mini goldmine! 💎
