The Great 2014 Kew Gardens 50p Rush.....
Must be a very slow news day today....
A couple of the mainstream media sites are running a story about a limited-edition fifty-pence piece from 2009 commemorating Kew Gardens that might be worth a good few quid to collectors.
So, it was time for exploratory abdominal surgery on poor old Perky, and to take a good look around inside her - just in case...
Unfortunately, despite retrieving exactly seventy of the little blighters, not a Kew Gardens type in sight. There's 58 of the usual Britannia, 6 more which I think might simply be Welsh, and only 6 commemorative types, two of which are the same. Click on the photo for a larger image if you're even remotely interested.
Five of these commemoratives are only a few years old, but there's one there from 2000 with the legend '...Public Libraries...' if anyone wants to make me an offer....
And don't worry, Perky is fine !
