The Royal MintSpotted from the listing text
The item page explicitly describes it as a “2009 Copy Proof 50p Kew Gardens coin,” yet it is sold as a 2009 Kew Gardens 50p; £10.67 is only about 6–8% of the genuine coin’s £140–£180 market value.
Clue in the text: “2009 Proof 50p Kew Gardens” priced at only “£10.67” is implausibly cheap for a genuine Kew Gardens 50p.
Genuine price: $0.65
