It has just been reported that the UK 2023 Salmon 50p is the rarest coin to have entered circulation.

It is estimated that there are currently 29 BILLION coins in circulation but only 200,000 of the Salmon 50p coin have been released. That makes it rarer than the renowned Kew Gardens 50p.

This now presents a significant collecting opportunity.

The 50p is one of 8 new coins that are entering our change to replace old Queen Elizabeth II coinage.

Today, you can own all 8 of these coins in official collector packaging - including a special first year of issue privy mark. This sets them aside from any coins you'll find in your change as they are guaranteed firsts.

It is unlikely UK residents will be able to find the new coins in their change for some time as most will be snapped up by collectors. Especially the UK's new rarest coin.

But you can get ahead and own this complete set of coins in superior Brilliant Uncirculated Quality.

So don’t delay, secure a piece of history today.
