Two different sporting issues can easily be confused because they share a similar visual feature. For this reason, there is not a single value of the 50p Wheelchair 2011, but two separate coins to consider, each with its own rarity and collector price. The Boccia 50 pence and the Wheelchair Rugby 50p coin 2011 are examined individually below, making it easier to identify which one you have and determine its current value.
Value of the 2 Wheelchair 50 pence coins 2011
Unlike many 50p coins, there are two different issues that collectors may have in mind when searching for this distinctive feature: Boccia and Wheelchair Rugby. Each has its own level of availability and collector demand, so their prices need to be considered separately.
The tables in the two sections below show the value of each Wheelchair 2011 50 pence according to condition and version. These estimates are intended for examples in good condition; pieces with heavy wear, scratches or significant damage will generally attract much less collector interest and may be worth little more than their face value.
Boccia 50p coin
The 50p Wheelchair Boccia Olympic depicts a player taking part in boccia, a precision ball sport in which competitors aim to place their balls as close as possible to a target ball known as the jack. The discipline requires considerable accuracy, strategy and control, with players competing individually, in pairs or as teams.
