An expert has urged Brits to look out for two coins currently in circulation that could be worth far more than their face value. Combined, these pieces could be valued at an incredible £130.

The coins in question include a 20p from 2008 and a 50p from 2023. However, they need to feature some specific designs to be particularly sought after.

Speaking on social media platform TikTok, an expert known as the Coin Collecting Wizard described what to look for. He explained: “Did you know the UK has many coins you can find in everyday change that you can sell to collectors for some serious money? Here are just a few to look out for. One of the most well known modern coin errors to watch out for is the undated 20p from 2008.” On this coin there is no date on its head side.

According to the Royal Mint website, this affected less than 250,000 coins. The expert continued: “This happened when the Royal Mint changed the design of UK coins moving the date from the reverse tail side to the obverse head side.

“But in a small batch the new obverse was accidentally paired with the old reverse meaning the coin ended up with no date at all. It's the first UK coin in over 300 years to be released without a date and that little slip up makes it highly collectible.”

He estimated that this could be worth around £50. “If you're lucky enough to find one in your change it could fetch around £50 depending on condition, so it's definitely worth checking your 20ps,” he said.

At the time of reporting, a number of undated 2008 20p coins could be found on eBay for prices between £68.32 and £900. The second coin highlighted by the Coin Collecting Wizard does not feature a mistake.

Instead it is valuable due to how few of the coins were produced in the first place. He explained that a 50p coin from 2023 could be worth around £80.

The expert added: “Or how about the Atlantic Salmon 50 pence coin? With such a low mintage of 200,000 it is officially the rarest 50p you can find in your change and it's worth around £80 to collectors.”

On its website last year, the Royal Mint said: “The coin depicting the Atlantic Salmon has knocked the highly collectable 2009 Kew Gardens 50p off the top spot for the first time, with just 200,000 released to UK banks and post offices at the end of last year. A total of 210,000 2009 Kew Gardens coins were released into circulation 15 years ago.”
