Depending on their rarity, 50 euro cent coins can have a price much higher than their value. Some even reach 50 euros.
Everything that is rare is expensive. This syllogism applies as much to a prized piece of jewelry as to a 50 cent coin. Especially since there are many coin collectors, which would explain the price of some of these coins.
The European currency is manufactured by each member country of the euro zone. The fewer a State produces, the more the value of these shields increases, as specified by sites specializing in numismatics ( study of coins and medals).
Vatican Coins
The prize for the most expensive 50 cent coins goes to those produced by the Holy See. In particular the 2002, 2003 and 2004 vintages, according to the Info Collection site.
Certain pieces, prized by collectors who rush to keep them in their safe, can reach 50 euros.
For coins placed on the market between 2006 and 2009, their value can reach 20 euros, or 10 euros more than coins dating from 2010 and 2011.
Coins of Monaco
The 50 cent coins from the Principality come in second position in this unusual ranking, which confirms that value is not necessarily judged by the first impression. Collectible coins from 2001, 2002 and 2003 from Monaco are worth around twenty euros and remain just as difficult to find.
the coins of San Marino
To complete this podium, 50 cent coins from San Marino can reach three to four euros, as Info Collection indicates: “High Argus for most vintages (2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) – each of these coins is worth 3 or 4 euros. The San Marino 2005 and 2006 coins, however, have no particular value.”
Not far from this mountainous microstate, Spanish 50 cent coins from 2002 are worth around two euros. Enough to buy more than expected, with a 50 cent coin.
