Hi,
Sorry, I am asking on behalf of a friend who has the coin, and I thought it said 1955 on it. I checked again and I also uploaded a picture of the front and the back of it. It turns out it's not older than 2005, but is part of a limited addition, and that's why my friend thinks it is valuable.
Thanks for your opinions!

Hi again djanoko,
Ah, I see now your friend may have misread the date 1755, commemorating Johnson's dictionary, as 1955.
As to worth; face value only, I'm afraid. 50p.

Yes - welcome back @djanoko !
I agree with Hogarth - in that condition worth only face value. Even in top condition only worth a couple of pounds.
Sorry to be a disappointment.

Sorry to revive an old topic but I feel it is worth sharing my 1962 50p coin.

Yes, people really did cut down half crowns to make fake 50p!

I was going to respond to the newbie.
Yes maybe we can be rude, but surely with the internet anyone with an IQ of 55 or more can look up a coin on the net.

Numista has an excellent free catalogue. Asking for help is fine, but books are not kryptonite.
