This 2017 Sir Isaac Newton 50p marks the 375th anniversary of Sir Isaac Newton's birth and was designed by Aaron West. It features one of Newton's theories showing the Sun at the centre and three ellipses as the orbits of different planets. The Sir Isaac Newton 50p comes in at number 5 in our list of the top 5 rarest 50p coins in circulation. This means it regularly sells for above face value, as shown in the estimated price. Sir Isaac Newton was actually heavily involved in the coin world, as he was Master of the Mint between 1699 until his death in 1727.
Earlier in the year, we updated our Change Checker Guide to UK Commemorative Coin Mintages which included details of all the coins issued into circulation in 2017.
But The Royal Mint has just updated its mintage figures for 2017-dated 50p coins.
It won't be a surprise that the 2009 Kew Gardens remains king of the 50p coins, but owners of the 2017 Sir Isaac Newton 50p will be glad to hear that the coin has managed to keep its sought-after 2nd place position on the chart. However, the final mintage has crept up by 1,500 bringing the total to 1,801,500

Sir Isaac Newton 50p Mintage
Whilst all four Beatrix Potter 50ps already had fairly high mintages when the figures were first revealed, the final mintages have since increased, the obvious change being the 2017 Benjamin Bunny 50p which has more than doubled. It has been confirmed that further Benjamin Bunny 50ps went into circulation during 2018, bringing the total mintage to 25,000,000.
