This year, keep the change!

YOU don’t have to be an avid coin collector to know what to look out for in your change.

Limited edition coins can end up being worth a lot more than you’d first think.

If you ever spot something a little unusual looking in your change, it’s always a good idea to have a check to see if it’s rare.

A number of new limited edition coins are entering circulation in 2019, the Mirror reports, and some of them might fetch a decent price further down the line.

Here’s what to look out for this year. ■ Sherlock Holmes 50p

A classic Sherlock Holmes silhouette, complete with pipe and deerstalker hat, will appear on a commemorative 50p, marking the 160th birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The image of the world-famous literary detective is surrounded by titles of Sir Arthur’s stories, including The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Sign of Four.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation has inspired generations of adaptations, re-imaginings, tributes and

more. The man himself famously only took one first class wicket in a not insignificant cricket career – that of WG Grace. He also played in the same team as Peter Pan creator JM Barrie and Jeeves and Wooster author PG Wodehouse. ■ D-Day £2 coin

The 75th Anniversary of the D Day landings on June 6 will be marked with a £2 coin. The Allied Invasion of Normandy in 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

The coin shows the locations of the Normandy landings, naming the beaches picked – Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

■ Samuel Pepys £2 coin Diarist Samuel Pepys – who chronicled the Great Fire of London and plague – will also be honoured with a £2 coin, 350 years after his last entry. ■ Wedgewood pottery £2 coin

The 260th anniversary of the founding of one of the world’s most famous pottery firms will also be celebrated with a Wedgewood pottery £2 coin. ■ Queen Victoria £5 coin

Queen Victoria, born in May 1819, will be featured on a rare £5 coin, alongside a telephone, a penny-farthing bicycle, and other icons from her six-decade-long reign.

The issue of £5 coins is usually reserved for special royal occasions.
