The Change Checker Scarcity Index has outlined which coins currently in circulation are the rarest, as well as those which could be worth much more than their face value.

A number of new coins were introduced last year, including a tribute piece to the late scientist Stephen Hawking, a new Peter Rabbit 50p and two new Paddington bear 50 pence coins.

However, the Kew Gardens design 50 pence piece is still the most valuable among coin collectors. A total of just 210,000 Kew Gardens 50p coins were minted in 2009, making it one of the most sought-after coins in circulation.

Sherlock Holmes 50p

A classic Sherlock Holmes silhouette, complete with pipe and deerstalker hat, will appear on a commemorative 50p, marking the 160th birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The image of the world-famous literary detective is surrounded by titles of Sir Arthur's stories, including The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Sign of Four.

D-Day £2 coin

The 75th Anniversary of the D Day landings on June 6 will be marked with a £2 coin. The Allied Invasion of Normandy in 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The coin shows the locations of the Normandy landings, naming the beaches picked - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

Samuel Pepys £2 coin

Diarist Samuel Pepys - who chronicled the Great Fire of London and plague - will also be honoured with a £2 coin, 350 years after his last entry. When news of the fire reached him, Pepys famously collected what valuables he could and then - to keep it safe - buried some wine and a Parmesan cheese. The cheese has never been found.

Wedgewood pottery £2 coin

The 260th anniversary of the founding of one of the world's most famous pottery firms will also be celebrated with a Wedgewood pottery £2 coin.

Queen Victoria £5 coin

Queen Victoria, born in May 1819, will be featured on a rare £5 coin, alongside a telephone, a penny-farthing bicycle,and other icons from her six-decade-long reign. The issue of £5 coins is usually reserved for special royal occasions, with the last one released to mark the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding in May 2018.
