A coin for every occasion: 27th July 2012 - Let the games begin.

Throughout the month of July, ill be looking back at historical moments from the past. From conflicts to coronations, sporting moments to royal memories, and famous firsts and lasts, with my love of all things shiny and precious, ill be trying to tie these events in with coins that have been created to commemorate these moments.

On 27 July, the London 2012 Olympic Games began with a spectacular opening ceremony held at the Olympic Stadium in the capital.

A showcase of British culture and history, it included traditional ceremonial elements such as the hoisting of the flags and the parade of athletes, before being formally opened by Her Majesty The Queen. In typical British fashion, the UK Olympic Committee even pulled out all the stops to get #jamesbond and HRH Queen Elizabeth to take part in a Quintessentially british short film:

For the Olympics, the Royal Mint minted 29 new 50p designs in 2011 to mark the 2012 London Olympics with a coin design for each Olympic sport. These have become incredibly sought after and its believed 90%+ of all circulated coins have been removed by collectors. So to find one in your change is getting harder and harder.

Some of the lower mintage coins, such as Football(above), Judo, Triathlon and Wrestling can achieve £8 to £15. For a full set in good condition you should expect to pay £65 to £70 on eBay. With a mintage of just 1.125 million, the Football 50p is the rarest of the Olympic coins and is widely sought after by coin collectors due to its scarcity

The offside rule 50p coin depicts a midfielder deciding to pass to either one teammate on the left, listed ‘offside’ or the other teammate that’s on level with the defender, listed as  ‘not offside’.

So if you do come across some of these 2012 commemorative 50p's, or you already have, you could be sat on a good little return.
