2022 UK 150 Years of the FA Cup £2
In 2022, to celebrate a remarkable 150 years of the FA Cup, a brand new UK £2 coin was issued featuring the famed FA Cup Trophy.
This coin was so popular with collectors that the entire special edition range sold out within less than 24 hours at The Royal Mint!
Producing hometown heroes, as underdogs play alongside Premier League giants, these unforgettable moments unite football fans, making the FA Cup one of the greatest knockout tournaments in the world.
Sporting events such as these create huge fan-bases all across the world, each looking for a way to commemorate their favourite team or athlete’s successes.

2021 UK Team GB 50p
This coin was initially issued as part of the 2020 Annual Coin Set but with the postponement of the Olympic Games to 2021, this 50p was never individually released in 2020.
This made this 50p one of most sought-after coins in recent years, with collectors having waited a whole year to get their hands on the individual issue.
Additionally, due to the postponement of both the games and the issue of this 50p, there are two versions of the coin – one with the obverse dated 2020 from the 2020 Annual Coin Set and one with the obverse dated 2021 from the year of individual release.
This makes the 2021 Team GB 50p one of only a small handful of UK 50ps to feature a dual-date – only adding to the collectability of the new coin!
2002 Commonwealth Games £2 coins
These four coins were issued in 2002 – again issued to celebrate the Commonwealth Games – this time held in Manchester.
Each has a different cameo, representing each of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom.They are some of the scarcest £2 coins now in circulation, with the Northern Ireland design having a mintage of JUST 485,500!
The other coin designs have the following mintage figures:
- 2002 Commonwealth Games Wales £2: 588,500
- 2002 Commonwealth Games England £2: 650,500
- 2002 Commonwealth Games Scotland £2: 771,750

The Platinum Jubilee 50p is in circulation! Here’s where to find them…
Today, the 2022 Platinum Jubilee 50p coins entered circulation! Issued to commemorate Her Majesty’s 70 year service to the throne, this brand new 50p is the very first circulating coin of 2022.
Getting one of the first coins put into circulation can be quite an achievement, especially with a coin as popular as this one.
It was confirmed that an initial 1.3 million would be released from Post Offices on the 7th February, but a further 1 million entered circulation ahead of the Platinum Jubilee weekend in June!
This takes the combined mintage to a total of 2.3 million. The Royal Mint have confirmed that there would be a maximum mintage of 5,000,070 if demand allowed.
Post Offices in Windsor and close to Sandringham were among the first branches to receive the new coin.
Whilst they’ve been initially released in areas that are significant to the Queen’s reign, these coins were gradually dispersed all over the country. And thanks to you, we’ve been able to plot this 50p’s journey around the UK!
We’ve been keeping track of where Change Checkers have found the 2022 Platinum Jubilee 50p coins and it seems as though it’s already travelled far and wide!
From Anglesey, to Tyrone, and Fife, this 50p has reached the far West, whilst also journeying as far as Kent and East Sussex in the East. Collectors in Scotland will also be pleased to see it’s reached several locations in central and North East regions.
