Is it rare?
Rarity: Lowest circulating-mintage 20p since decimalisation (excluding the set-only 2017/2018 zero-circulation years). Condition and any minting errors have the biggest effect on what it's worth.
What to look for
Dated 2023, Charles III uncrowned Martin Jennings bust, Atlantic puffin reverse with interlocking C's. NOTE: the CIRCULATION strike has NO privy mark; the Tudor Crown coronation privy mark appears only on the BU/proof annual-set version (behind the King's head). This corrects the candidate note, which had the privy on the circulation coin.
