Brits urged to check their pockets for three 50p coins that could be worth a \'small fortune\'

The call came from @CoinCollectingWizard on TikTok, who has a following of 155,200 people

A TikTok video has highlighted some 50p coins that could be worth a lot of money if you find them down the back of the sofa or in your pocket.

The clip, shared by @CoinCollectingWizard, who has 155,200 followers on the platform, shows three different coins that could be valuable to collectors.

The first coin mentioned is the 2017 Benjamin Bunny 50p, which is usually worth just 50p. However, there is a rare rotation error version of the coin that has the Queen's head printed facing the wrong direction.

According to the TikToker, this error version of the coin could be worth around £30.

The second coin highlighted is the Athletics 50p coin, of which around 2.2 million were minted and released into circulation in 2011.

However, there is an earlier version of the coin that was minted in 2009, which is more valuable to collectors.

If you have this coin dated 2009, then it could be worth £250 or more.

Finally, the video mentions the 2011 Aquatics 50p error coin, which is part of the London 2012 Olympics series.

If you find one of these coins with the swimming lines over the face, it could be worth a small fortune.

A small handful of this original design entered circulation, but it was then quickly adapted to show the face above the water.

With so few of the real design out there, it has pushed up the coin's value to around £2,000.
