A rare £2 coin has recently sold for 60 times its face value - and it has a small error that makes it even more valuable. Here's everything you need to know
Rare coins are a hot topic currently, but do you have this unique £2 design in your pocket? It's always worth checking your change, as you never know what treasures might be hiding. Recently, one lucky person struck gold after discovering the UK's rarest 50p coin in their collection.
These coins were minted to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the poet's death, reports the Express. Each of the three coins pays tribute to a different genre of Shakespeare's works: tragedies, comedies and histories. So, what makes this coin so special? They added: "Instead of the standard edge inscription, which should read, 'What a piece of work is a man', this one has the words from another £2 coin around the edge. Mint errors like this one can add significant value to common coins."
