There were several Aquatics 50p coins minted with the lines in the image of the water going through the face of the swimmer before the design was withdrawn and changed so that the swimmer’s face is more visible. The designers originally created the reverse side image to show more water and wave lines. However, if you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on one from the first minted design of this coin, expect to pay quite a bit more.
This coin is worth about £1.71 according to values on eBay in 2022. Put a finishing touch on your Olympic 50 pence coin collection with the Aquatics 50p.
