Overview

• A Bristol-based eBay listing is asking over £34,000 for one of the misprinted Benjamin Bunny 50p coins, around 68,000 times its face value.
• The coin was issued by the Royal Mint in 2017 as part of a Beatrix Potter series and features Benjamin Bunny on its reverse.
• The error rotates Queen Elizabeth II’s obverse portrait so it does not align with the bunny design on the reverse.
• Previous sales have reached £255 for graded editions in 2021 and approximately £40 earlier this year.
• Experts say these error coins remain legal tender and could still appear in everyday change.
