eBay Tracker
Since our last update in June 2023, the market's been pretty steady - but that doesn't mean there aren't some surprising fluctuations! 🎭
Quite the sensation, isn't it? Let's discuss the crowned jewels that have sparked a stir...
King Charles III Coronation 50p
The introduction of the King Charles III Coronation 50p sees its debut on our tracker. 🎉 Although it only has a median value of £2.69, that's a whopping 5 times its face value! Given it's only been in circulation for 5 months, congrats to the clever collectors who've nabbed some straightway!
2015 Britannia £2
The 2015 Britannia £2 is the coin to watch, having seen a monstrous 39% increase since our last update. It's now trading at a cool £6.24 on the secondary market. Originally appearing on the Farthing in 1672, Britannia has graced our coins for over 300 years, and following the technology design shift on our £2 coins, she made a triumphant return in 2015.
Olympic Football 50p
If you're keen on the Olympics, you'll want to know about the Olympic Football 50p. We've seen a 24% increase in its secondary market value! The 2011 design may be one of the more common Olympic 50ps, but don't be fooled – its low mintage figure (only 1,125,500 were produced) and enduring popularity have led to fierce competition among collectors, who are still willing to dish out nearly 36 times its face value for a chance to grab one!
Undated 20p
The undated 20p remains a popular choice among coin enthusiasts, with some fetching an impressive £64 on the secondary market - a 23% increase since our last eBay tracker update! Given its reputation as the holy grail of change collecting, it wouldn't be a stretch to consider yourself lucky if you've found one in your pocket! 🍀
Kew Gardens 50p
Released in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the Kew Gardens 50p features the iconic Chinese Pagoda at Kew entwined by a decorative leafy climber. It was revealed that only 210,000 Kew Gardens 50p coins were struck, making it the scarcest UK coin in circulation. The average secondary market value for this psychedelic piece of history is currently around £148, just £10 less than our last update.
AA01 £5 and £10 Polymer Banknotes
Although their values have remained steady since our last update, you won't want to pass up the opportunity to snag the AA01 £5 and £10 polymer banknotes! Oh, did we mention that the very first note of each denomination was presented to the Queen and Prince Phillip? I bet your grandmother wishes she'd saved her receipts! If you happen to spot a £5 or £10 note with a serial number starting with AA01, you could rake in a tidy sum on the secondary market. Prices often fetch around £15 – still a 3x increase compared to their face value!
Valuation Index
With the addition of the Atlantic Salmon 50p in November, that's 3 coins featuring King Charles III to keep an eye out for in your change. Be out there and keep your eyes peeled!

- Despite its focus on UK coin and banknote values, it's also important to consider other investment opportunities, such as delving into the housing-market or managing personal-finance aspects like savings and retirement planning.
- In the realm of real-estate, keeping an eye on market trends can be just as exciting as tracking rare coins. For instance, just as the King Charles III Coronation 50p has seen a significant increase in value, some housing markets might also witness remarkable growth over time, offering potential for lucrative returns on investments.
