The Scouting 50p was first issued in 2007 to celebrate the centenary 100 years of the Scouts in the UK.

The Kew Gardens 50p, one of the UK’s rarest coins, with only 210,000 in general circulation, issued to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, England.

The final coin in the set is the Roger Bannister 50p, which was first issued in 2004 to mark the 50th Anniversary of the 1st person to run the 4-minute mile.

The Kew Gardens 50p remains one of the most sought-after 50 pence coins by British coin collectors and is a large contributor to excitement and hype around these 2019 re-issue sets selling out in record time!
