This is the 34th hunt in the series where we buy a sealed £250 bag to see how many commemorative 50p coins I could find for my own collection. The sealed bag was from the Post Office and dated 6th Aug 2020 and time 17:27:51, so wish us luck!

This was another fantastic hunt! Not only did we find 23 different commemorative 50p coins, however we found an Olympic and a very nice Territory. The 2012 Bailiwick of Guernsey Freesia Flower 50p has a mintage of just 731,250 which is very low however the year you really want to find is the 2006 with a mintage of just 22,000!
The Star Find of course is the 2011 London 2012 Shooting 50p with a mintage of 1,656,500 and worth around £2.50.
