The Kew Gardens 50p (UK's RAREST Coin)
The Kew Gardens 50p is the rarest British coin in circulation. It's the ultimate find in the Great British Coin Hunt, and by some small miracle I managed to find one in my change a couple of years ago! It depicts the Great Pagoda at Kew Gardens, encircled with vine and the word 'Kew' beneath.
'A Great British Adventure' is a series of videos that have taken me all over the UK. The videos are based on the new A-Z 10p coins - they aren't videos about the coins, rather, they use them as a sort of contents page.

Hey there's a really interesting video on he legality of the Eiffel Tower at night as the lights haven't passed the time that it takes something to be free use so technically the image is illegal. Just FYI I'm not hating, I love your videos just letting you know about something I find interesting
Just found your channel a few hours ago and I already am addicted

‘But here... it was British.’
6 o’clock was 10 minutes ago Still a good video though
So when I was first time in London (well... it was my first time in UK too) in May 2013 Kew Gardens were one of our destinations. And I must admit it was one of my favourite places in UK! I loved it (That year it was so warm, that we even walked barefoot... it was definetly hotter than in Poland ^^). The only downside was this terrace (2:10). It was so shaky, that I had been really pissed off xD. But the Palm House was cool tho. I'm kinda sad, that we didn't visited it year later, but we were only like 1,5 days in London, so we couldn't go there. Instead, we were in Wax Museum, which I didn't enjoyed at all ;

Hey there, recent subscriber, Australian currently living in the US. One thing I found interesting was when I travelled to the US an American would never say "join the queue" it'd always be "join the line". Also took me like 2 years into living here to realise this. Great channel and appreciate the high quality of the videos.
Any video chris makes makes every one just *_Happi_*
You're so fortunate to be able to have a place as incredible as Kew in your country. Great video as always!
I love British youtubers because they always upload exciting content since there’s so much interesting things in Britain, and by far you’re the best one I’ve ever found! Keep it up Chris!
Literally the best channel ever! You can see you work hard on these. Don't stop!!

I love the Kew Gardens 50p! I’m lucky enough to have found two and still have them! I made a wee video on both of them.
I love the Kew gardens, it is such a wonderful place and in the summer is such a great place for a day trip, I always enjoyed it as a kid.
Clever and informative! 👍🏻👍🏻

The Q coin just has to be a reference to Hitchhikers: "Stand back! I'm British; we know how to queue." ;) But I had a Kew Gardens 50p once, ages ago, and didn't realise quite how special it was. (I would have done exactly the same with Q and Kew! :D ) Oh I just have to go see Kew Gardens again! I haven't been there for so long, I can barely remember it. I only recall only glimpses and a sensation of delighted fascination. :) Seeing pictures now, I realise the palm house played a role in defining my tastes. I'd *love* to take the treetop walkway, and that bridge over the lake can't have been there when I last visited, either.
Lovely video! Never knew there was a pagoda there! I must say it is fascinating to see a piece of Asia in England!
I love your vids, they are so interesting!
Great to see that you also read the series of unfortunate events series. The series is amazing
As always an amazing video
When I was REALLY young, I found one of the coins at a local park. I lost it at home so I now have a Kew Garden coin somewhere at my house.
Very well made! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Heya! Sorry I was late for the video, but still wanted today leave a comment. Your videos are really nicely made, and I'm glad you started making them! BTW, I'm really impressed you have all of those coins :O

Great video - most captivating at 3:21.
I accidentally spent a Kew Gardens coin and it still kills me to know
Great video!
Interesting stuff. Thanks!
Kew Gardens is one of Surrey's best landmark. You can see so much of London in the distance. Well done for the interesting video as always
This is one of the best videos on youtube
AMAZING 😉
Wow! 5 hours been up and no dislikes! (I really enjoy what you post, always puts a smile on my face while watching :D)
My dad is a coin collector, he's been collecting for around 30 years, and he's still never owned one of these.
So something else that ties Singapore and the Kew Gardens - the Singapore Botanic Gardens had many of its first rubber seedlings from the Kew Gardens in 1877, which then spearheaded rubber cultivation in the Malayan Archipelago by Henry Ridley.

You were randomly suggested to me so I watched your James Bond cat video. It was cute then I saw your cat had a fight and I watched that. Then I saw you build a bridge for the cat and it made me sad because I miss my cat who passed away but it made me happy too because you and ur cats friedship is so cute, and here I am on my 6th video and I’m just amazed at the content you provide. I wanna hug you and the cat btw great channel great content, I subbed because you deserve it
