Kew Gardens

One of the rarest U.K. 50p coins is the 2009 Kew Gardens.
I would like to thank Ken for helping me to finally add one to my collection.

I have never seen one of those in circulation.

I have two of them, one I traded for and the second one I had to pay a friend a bounty for it.

One for Steve was purchased from Ebay.

Now I just to have find some of the older 2 pounds coins for Steve.  Still waiting for some 2105 2 pound coins to show up in circulation since I don't even have them.

Some very nice oldies 


I checked wikipedia on the 50p coins. ''Thanks'' to the Olympic issues in 2012 even just a type-set is a huge undertaking.
What baffled me the most however: Why the heck were only 210.000 ''Kew Gardens'' coins minted? That's an awfully low mintage. Or was the coin never supposed to be for ''circulation?''
