2021 UK Team GB 50p
This coin was initially issued as part of the 2020 Annual Coin Set but with the postponement of the Olympic Games to 2021, this 50p was never individually released in 2020.
This made this 50p one of most sought-after coins in recent years, with collectors having waited a whole year to get their hands on the individual issue.
Additionally, due to the postponement of both the games and the issue of this 50p, there are two versions of the coin – one with the obverse dated 2020 from the 2020 Annual Coin Set and one with the obverse dated 2021 from the year of individual release.
This makes the 2021 Team GB 50p one of only a small handful of UK 50ps to feature a dual-date – only adding to the collectability of the new coin!

These four coins were issued in 2002 – again issued to celebrate the Commonwealth Games – this time held in Manchester.
Each has a different cameo, representing each of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom.They are some of the scarcest £2 coins now in circulation, with the Northern Ireland design having a mintage of JUST 485,500!

- 2002 Commonwealth Games Wales £2: 588,500
