Rare £2 coin error could be worth over 60 times its face value - have you checked your change?

TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard claimed one of these coins sold for £123 at auction, over 60 times its face value

A very special £2 coin could be stashed away in your wallet or piggy bank right now and it might just be worth over 60 times its face value.

TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard shared a video highlighting a rare £2 coin which sold for an eye-watering £123 at auction.

The coin in question is part of the 2016 Shakespeare's Tragedies £2 coin which was issued to mark the 400th anniversary of his death.

There were three coins released to honour a different genre of the poet’s genre, including tragedies, comedies and histories.

But it seems one specific coin is particularly special and it's all down to a mint error.

The user said: "It's a hard to spot error affecting the edge of the coin that has attracted interest from collectors.

"Instead of the standard edge inscription, which should read, 'What a piece of work is a man', this one has the words from another £2 coin around the edge.

"Mint errors like this one can add significant value to common coins."

It's worth noting the error coin will have the edge inscription for king and country.

A handful of £2 coins are making headlines due to incorrect edge inscriptions, where the edge detail intended for one commemorative design was mistakenly used on another coin from the same year.

Now since the video was shared on TikTok, it garnered 200 likes and dozens of comments.

One said: "I have one."

While another added: "Wow!"
