Interest can change among coin collectors so it's worth keeping up to date with the latest scarcity index. The 2023 Salmon 50p is the rarest 50p in circulation, with just 200,000 minted. The rare coin was struck to highlight the plight of the salmon, whose population is in decline. It is considered the second rarest Olympic 50p coin after the Football one. Remember, though, a rare coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
