I don't know that I could claim to own any modern coins so rare you hardly ever see them. But here's a historic medal that would qualify. I would say there are probably less than 5 known today. I wrote a little article about it here. Since then, this medal has been added to Numista. GREAT BRITAIN. Time of George III (1760-1820) Rutland Legion Riflemen AR Medal (32.0mm 11.38g, 12h) Minted c. 1803-1813 by (or after) John Milton, medallist Obverse: GEORGIVS · III · DEI · GRATIA · , laureate bust of King George III right Reverse: RUTLAND LEGION RIFLEMEN around target with hatched center References: Numista 508190 (this coin pictured); BMC M.4371; see also Noonan’s, 3/8/2022 lot 1474 (hammer £360). Rich cabinet toning, some obverse scratches. An extremely rare silver medal minted by (or after) British medalist John Milton (1759 – 1805), for the Rutland Legion Riflemen, a company of riflemen raised in 1803 by George Finch, 9th Earl of Winchilsea, for the defense of the British homeland in anticipation of a French invasion under Napoleon. The Rutland Legion Riflemen were attached to the Rutland Yeomanry Cavalry, which itself had been raised in 1794. The rifle company was disbanded in 1813. This medal was presumably struck for members of the company, which probably numbered around 100 men. Only a handful of these medals have survived to the present day.
