TT coin sells for 400 times its value

50p piece fetches over £200

A rare Isle of Man 50p piece has sold for more than 400 times its value in an online auction.

The coin, from 1997 and featuring 11-time TT winner Phillip McCallen, eventually went for £218.00.

It features two motorcyclists, one of which is number 9, with the rider behind on bike number 4.

The year it was minted was the last time the larger 50p pieces were issued before being replaced by a smaller design.
