A copy of the Royal Mint’s rarest coin currently in circulation, the King Charles III Atlantic Salmon 50p, has sold for a staggering £195 on eBay—nearly 400 times its face value. This week, the rare coin sparked a bidding frenzy among collectors, receiving 22 bids before the final sale.
With only 200,000 copies minted, the Atlantic Salmon 50p is the rarest coin in circulation in the UK. The coin recently dethroned the highly collectable 2009 Kew Gardens 50p, which held the top spot for 15 years, according to the Royal Mint.
