About Coin Values

Last updated

Coin Values covers 335 UK coin designs from the 1p to the £2, struck in the circulating standard since 1968. Each design has its own page with its mintage, its rarity rank, what it sells for and how to spot it, and every design of one value is ranked by rarity on that value's page, such as the list of rare 50p coins.

What is covered

That includes definitive designs, circulating commemoratives, commemoratives sold only in brilliant uncirculated packs, and well-known errors that reached collectors. Proofs, precious-metal strikes, £5 crowns and coins from the Crown Dependencies are not listed as separate designs.

Where the figures come from

  • Mintages: The Royal Mint's published mintage figures, confirmed against independent sources, last read on 19 September 2026.
  • Values: 334 designs, each worked out from UK price guides, dealer prices, auction results and reported sold prices, last checked on 19 September 2026, as how we value coins sets out.
  • Rarity: ranked from circulation mintage alone, lowest first.
  • Photos: The Royal Mint's photographs of each coin, credited under every photo with the year. 309 of the 335 designs have one.
