Charlottechicken Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yesterday, I sold some eggs to a neighbour. She paid me in 50p pieces and I noticed one was quite pretty. I googled it and found out it was a 2009 coin commemorating 250 years of Kew Gardens 1759 - 2009, with a pagoda on the front (I thought it was the Leaning Tower of Pisa actually!) and is only one of 10,000 in circulation. They are selling on ebay now! I'm still looking for the 20p coins without the dates on though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
