A Beatrix Potter 50p coin that made headlines in Scotland after being listed for nearly £150,000 on eBay is up for grabs for just £1 in Norfolk.
The shockingly expensive coin was minted in 2017 and features the Beatrix Potter character Benjamin Bunny from The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, released in September 1904.
But now the listing has sparked controversy as other examples of the supposedly "extremely rare" coin have been found on eBay in Norwich for as little as £1.90 - a nearly 80,000 times cheaper asking price.
The £150,000 coin was listed in Glasgow by eBay user Bargaintoolsandgoods and is not uncirculated which means it is not even in mint condition.

Another eBay user from Norwich has posted a 50p coin depicting Tom Kitten with an asking price of £750.
