Probably the most sought after coin in circulation, the Kew Garden 50p was released in 2009 with a reported mintage figure of 210,000. However this is misleading because an even larger amount was sold as collector's items which puts the coin's reported mintage figure much higher. By adding up the production figures of all the sets that included the Kew Garden 50p we get a more accurate mintage figure of the Kew Garden coin.
