Have you seen the pictures of the new coins, due to be released shortly?

I think they are great.

Thank you for posting Andysmum.

Although I don’t use cash I may have to acquire some of these. They look really interesting :-D

They are great aren't they?

I particularly like the squirrel.

Putting the number on the reverse of the coin is supposed to help children count. So why does the 1 have 2 bees on it :-S

I'm seeing on Ebay people selling "Rare 50p King Charles 111 from £1500-£2500.00!

How is that possible??? What's rare about it as there are several not just one??

These are not the redesigned ones , which are not in circulation yet.


The one most often described as "rare" on eBay seems to be one with four shields and four national flowers, with a crown in the middle.

Prices on eBay range from £1 to £300,000 !

That's the design which was issued in December 2022:

Perhaps they're being called "rare" because there aren't many of them around yet.
"Only" 4.9 million, with others to be released when required to replace old coins, according to that article.
I haven't seen any - but then I seldom use cash nowadays.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
