The design features the famous cast of suspects, including Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Reverend Green and Mrs White.

Some versions of the coin include colours associated with the board game.

The coin was launched in collaboration with Hasbro to celebrate Cluedo’s enduring legacy and global popularity.

Tim Mulhall, head of fandom at The Royal Mint, said: "Every coin we create tells a story, and the Cluedo 50p is no exception.

"Cluedo has captivated millions of players for decades and we’ve channelled that spirit of mystery and intrigue into every detail of the design.

"We hope members of the public enjoy cracking the case of 'the missing coin' as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing the coin to life.

"There’s a real thrill to coin collecting, and we hope solving this case connects that same passion for collecting with the mystery and excitement of a game like Cluedo."
