That is amazing and must have taken a lot of work. I amazed how so many are the 1997 50p - they must have issued kazillions of them.
Also I found the fact a 50 Forint of Hungary was in there - that coin is worth about 12p!
And the number of commems since 2016 is just phenomenal!
Of my 9 loose 50p coins, 4 are 1997, 1 is 1999, 1 is 2000 (Libraries), 2 are 2001 and 1 is 2008. Finally I have the 4 Paddingtons which were sent to me last year.
