How many 2017 olympic coins are there

Released in , the 29 coins celebrate a wide range of sports , and some of the coins were issued in small enough mintages to make them valuable to collectors.

The Royal Mint has revealed the rarest 50p coins in circulation ahead of the 50th anniversary of decimalisation, a list dominated by Olympic designs, with seven in the top ten. Here are the coins to look out for in your own loose change , and how they compare to some of the rarest coins in circulation. According to the Royal Mint, the Wrestling coin is the rarest of the Olympic designs, with a mintage of 1,, It is followed by the Football and Judo designs with a circulation of 1,, each, and the Triathlon coin at 1,, In total, there were 29 varieties of Olympic 50p coins made.

With over 1 million of each coin, more than 29 million Olympic Games 50p pieces were placed into circulation. Some of the 50p Olympic coins, however, are rarer than others. Fewer football Olympic Games 50p coins were made than any of the other coins. If you want to acquire a football Olympic Games 50p coin, you may have to pay a higher price due to its rarity.

On the other hand, the archery 50p pieces are said to be pretty common. If you are looking to collect a cheap archery 50p coin, it may be a good idea to get one soon before they become a rarity.

Of all the rare 50p Olympic coins, the football ones are pretty hard to find. Although there are several varieties of Olympic coins that came out before the London Olympic Games, these coins are becoming harder to find too.

The set comes housed in a Change Checker Album , with pages and a title card telling you all you need to know about these coins. They have some of the lowest mintage figures of all the UK 50p coins , with the Football 50p in particular, having a mintage of JUST 1,, When you consider the popularity and mintage figures of these coins, it really is an exciting challenge to try and collect all 29 designs.

Finally after nearly 2 years and asking family and friends to check change for 50p coins and a little help from ebay , I can now confirm my collection is complete with all 20 coins.
