In fact, the 1992 / 1993 Dual date 50p coin is by far the rarest of any fifty pence coin to have been released.
It is the old style 50p that was bigger and heavier than the 50p coins we see today, but these were withdrawn from circulation back in 1997. This is why collectors are willing to pay good money to add it to their collection as you will no longer find this in your change. To put it into context, the famous Kew Gardens 50p coin had 210,000 enter general circulation so, in comparison, this is over twice as rare. This is an extremely low figure and only beaten since by the 2019 A-Z 10p coins. Looking at the Royal Mint mintage figures we can see this 50p coin only had 109,000 coins entered into general circulation. Is The 1992 1993 Dual date 50p Coin Rare?
