Kew Gardens Coins

Browse Kew Gardens Coins from The London Coin Company , featuring one of the most iconic and sought-after modern British coins issued by The Royal Mint in Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), Bullion, and Certified formats. First released in 2009 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this legendary 50p coin has become a cornerstone of modern UK coin collecting due to its rarity and instantly recognisable design.

The reverse design by Christopher Le Brun depicts the famous Chinese Pagoda at Kew Gardens entwined with a decorative vine, while the obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. With a circulation mintage of just 210,000, the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p is widely regarded as one of the rarest and most desirable UK coins ever released, earning it a near-mythical status among collectors.

This category includes the original 2009 circulation issue, Brilliant Uncirculated collector coins, Silver Proof and Gold Proof and Piedfort Gold Proof editions, and later commemorative reissues such as the 2019 dual-dated proof release struck for collectors. Many examples are available, certified and graded by leading services such as PCGS and NGC, making them highly attractive for both investment and collection purposes.

Whether you are searching for the famous “key coin” of modern British numismatics, building a complete 50p collection, or investing in low-mintage Royal Mint issues, the Kew Gardens range offers expertly selected coins from one of the UK’s trusted numismatic dealers.
