Detailed Information

The reverse shows an Atlantic salmon leaping from the water, with “50 PENCE” and a pattern of interlocking C's for King Charles III, while the obverse carries Martin Jennings’ first portrait of the King. Released in November 2023, the coin has quickly become highly sought after after the Royal Mint revealed it as the rarest 50p coin in circulation. There is also a Brilliant Uncirculated version, featuring a crown privy mark, issued by the The Royal Mint for about £14.50. This version is not rare or as valuable. Alongside its rarity, the coin highlights the ecological importance of the Atlantic salmon and supports wider environmental conservation awareness, making it a meaningful and potentially appreciating addition to any collection.
