A rare 50p coin from 2009 has sold for nearly £200 - and there are still some in circulation.
Darren James said he felt 'shocked' when bids started to come in for the iconic botanical coin. The coin was released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759 and the Royal Mint estimate around 210,000 were made.
It features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with Queen Elizabeth II's face on the other. Darren, from Plymouth, put the sought-after coin on eBay after purchasing the 50p for around £80 a couple of years ago.
