A RARE King Charles III 50p coin has made waves in the collector’s market after selling for an astonishing £210 on eBay.
This sought-after piece, which celebrates the King’s first year on the throne, is catching the eyes of enthusiasts thanks to its scarcity and unique design.
The coin, featuring an engraving of an Atlantic salmon leaping from the ocean, was part of a special series released by the Royal Mint in November 2023.
With only 500,000 of these coins estimated to have entered circulation, they’ve quickly become one of the rarest 50p coins currently available.
Christopher Collects of the Britannia Coin Company said: “The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p is the rarest 50p coin out in circulation now.
“It is rarer than the highly sought-after Kew Gardens 50p, which is why it is selling for large sums of money.
“It is worth mentioning that there are two versions though, so you need to be careful when buying it.
“They look very similar, but one has a little Tudor crown privy mark, which is the version sold in annual coin sets.
“The one put into circulation does not have this privy mark. It is the circulated version without the privy mark that is attracting the largest premiums, so make sure you check before spending!”
The November 17 eBay sale involved two coins from a sealed bag, both without the Tudor crown privy mark, which collectors prize most highly.
After eight bids, the coins sold for an impressive £210.74, highlighting the incredible demand for this 50p piece.
Despite its status as the standard design for 50p coins going forward, the 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p is expected to remain valuable due to its low mintage in its first year.
Christopher Collects explained: “The 2023 Salmon will still hold a premium being a very low minted year, but whether it holds the value it has now is a tough guess.
“All it will take is for there to be a lot minted in a coming year, and it could become very common to find, which might deflate some of the excitement around it.”
This contrasts with the Kew Gardens 50p, a commemorative coin minted for circulation only in 2009, which remains one of the most famous and consistently valuable 50p coins ever released.
Christopher added: “Regardless of what it does in the future, right now it is really exciting for coin collecting and has people checking their change looking to turn a 50p into £100+. Events like this help grow the hobby of coin collecting.”
If you’re lucky enough to find one of these coins in your change, it could mean a significant payday.
However, as Christopher warned, it’s essential to ensure the coin you have does not feature the Tudor crown privy mark, as only the non-privy-mark version was minted for circulation and is attracting the highest premiums.
To assess its current value, check eBay’s recently sold listings under the “sold” filter.
Keep in mind that prices can vary based on timing, condition, and demand.
So, next time you sift through your change, keep an eye out for the leaping Atlantic salmon – your small change could turn into big money.
BBC viewers will be able to get a second fix of one of the broadcaster’s hit thriller series, as it’s been renewed for a follow up series.
The BBC, Netflix and ZDFneo have all confirmed that A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will return for a second series.
The series is based on Holly Jackson’s award-winning 2019 novel and starring Emma Myers, who has previously starred in Netflix series Wednesday.
Myers will return as Pip Fitz-Amobi alongside Zain Iqbal as Ravi Singh, with the rest of the cast to be announced as filming commences.
The second season has been confirmed as a six-part series and will be adapted and written by Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan, but is expected to bring viewers back to Pip after she solved the Andie Bell case.
This time, Pip‘s world has been transformed by her actions, and not always for the better.
Pip is determined to fix the fallout – and stay away from any more investigations.
Yet as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, key witness Jamie Reynolds suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him.
This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the ‘good girl’ she once was.
The first series of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder became a huge hit when it premiered in summer 2024, becoming BBC Three’s highest rating drama since its relaunch and one of BBC iPlayer’s most watched titles with 16-24 years old.
Writer Holly Jackson said: “I am BEYOND thrilled that we can continue Pip’s story and, this time, I’m writing on the show!
“We owe everything to the dedicated fans, and I can’t wait to reunite with my AGGGTM family!”
Moonage Pictures’ Matthew Read says: “We were thrilled to see the incredible response to S1 both here in the UK and internationally.
“It is testament to Holly Jackson’s brilliant novels, Poppy Cogan’s screen adaptation and our fantastic cast led by Emma Myers that we are be able to bring A Good Girl’s Guide back for a second series for the BBC, Netflix and ZDFneo.”
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: “It’s been a joy to see the fantastic response to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, particularly from younger viewers.
“We’re thrilled to once again join forces with Holly, Poppy, Emma, Zain and the team to bring this next exciting chapter to BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.”
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series one is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
