How many Olympic 50p coins are there?

The Royal Mint minted 29 new 50p designs in 2011 to mark the 2012 London Olympics with a coin design for each Olympic sport.

How much is a full set of Olympic 50p coins worth?

Most of the designs sell to collectors for between £1 and £2 (collector value guide price is shown on this page for each coin). Some of the lower mintage coins, such as Football, Judo, Triathlon and Wrestling can achieve £8 to £13.

For a full set of circulated coins in good condition you should expect to pay about £71 on eBay. If you have all 29 designs - selling the 50ps individually could return more than the set value - you could get around £89 for the 29 coins.

A Circulated condition Elizabeth II 2011 50p Football is worth about £13.

Who designed the coins?

The designs for the Olympic sports collection were submitted by the public in response to a competition run by The Royal Mint. So they coins have been "designed by the nation". 27 people had their designs selected including 2 people with 2 designs each. To find out more about each of the designers, click the coin.

There are a number of factors that affect 50p values, some 50ps may be worth less than the coin grade guide value, whereas other same year date examples could command much higher prices if they exibit desirable features such as strike errors.
