£2 piece commemorates Commonwealth Youth Games of 2011

If you have a Commonwealth Youth Games £2 piece from 2011 you could be sitting on a small fortune.

The coins were made to commemorate the event which was held in the Isle of Man - and one has just been sold for more than £200. 

Ben Mason put his up for sale online after receiving it in his change from a shop at his hometown of Royton near Manchester.

The 26-year-old father-of-four told Manchester Evening News it was snapped up for £236.74 - he received £206 after fees.

The coin features the logo of the Commonwealth Youth Games along with the mascot Tosha the Cat.
