However it’s been recently found out that only 2.1 million Mrs Tiggy-Winkle coins were released into circulation, which makes it the sixth most scarce in the UK – it’s become the most sought after 50p coin from the series.
Believe it or not, one seller managed to sell theirs on eBay for a whole £450!
