King Charles III's commemorative 50p coin, minted in 2023, becomes UK's rarest in circulation.

A 50p coin featuring King Charles III's portrait has become the rarest in UK circulation, with only 200,000 minted. Released in 2023 to commemorate his Coronation, it now outsells the 2009 Kew Gardens coin, previously the rarest with 210,000 minted. The Atlantic Salmon 50p's value has surged, reaching around £100 on eBay and in coin groups, making it highly sought after by collectors.
