一位硬幣專家在他的 TikTok 頁面上分享了視頻，重點介紹了一枚有錯誤的特殊紀念幣。

The rare £2 coin in question is a 2014 print featuring Lord Kitchener, most known from the famous First World War recruitment posters.

這枚罕見的 2 英鎊硬幣是 2014 年發行的，印有基奇納勳爵的頭像，最著名的是著名的第一次世界大戰徵兵海報。

The Royal Mint produced approximately 5,720,000 copies of these £2 coins to mark 100 years since the war started.

英國皇家鑄幣廠生產了約 5,720,000 枚 2 英鎊硬幣，以紀念戰爭爆發 100 週年。

However, a certain misprint, known as a “mule error”, could bump the actual value of the coin up to £1,240.

然而，某種被稱為「騾子錯誤」的印刷錯誤可能會使硬幣的實際價值高達 1,240 英鎊。

The Coin Collector UK explained in one post: “One of these £2 coins sells for £1,240. So the one that you want to be looking out for in your change, is this one right here. This is the Lord Kitchener from 2014 and there's an extremely rare error to be found on this coin.

英國硬幣收藏家在一篇文章中解釋：「其中一枚 2 英鎊的硬幣售價為 1,240 英鎊。因此，您在更改時要注意的就是這裡的這一點。這是 2014 年的基奇納勳爵硬幣，在這枚硬幣上發現了極其罕見的錯誤。

“So, the error that you want to be checking for when we flip the coin over to the Queen's head side, the obverse, you can see just at the bottom, it says the words ‘two pounds’. However, the Royal Mint mistakenly minted a number of these without the words ‘two pounds’ and this is called a mule error.”

「因此，當我們將硬幣翻轉到女王的頭部一側時，您想要檢查的錯誤，即正面，您可以在底部看到，上面寫著「兩磅」字樣。然而，皇家造幣廠錯誤地鑄造了一些沒有“兩磅”字樣的硬幣，這被稱為騾子錯誤。

In a more recent, pinned video on his page, which has had 2.1 million views so far, the expert is seen still on the hunt for the elusive coin.

在他的頁面上最近發布的一段影片中，該影片迄今已有 210 萬次觀看，影片中可以看到這位專家仍在尋找這枚難以捉摸的硬幣。

The clip, entitled 'Another day hunting for the Lord Kitchener error worth £1,240', has him flipping through multiple bags of £2 coins.

這段影片的標題是“又一天尋找價值 1,240 英鎊的基奇納勳爵錯誤”，影片中他翻閱了多袋裝有 2 英鎊的硬幣。

In it, he finds coins featuring Shakespeare tragedies and histories, Guy Fawkes, the abolition of the slave trade and VE Day. Unfortunately there are no Lord Kitchener coins, let alone one with the sought-after error.

在其中，他發現了帶有莎士比亞悲劇和歷史、蓋伊·福克斯、廢除奴隸貿易和勝利日的硬幣。不幸的是，沒有基奇納勳爵的硬幣，更不用說帶有廣受追捧的錯誤的硬幣了。

In another post from last year, the collector said that "only two" have so far been found.

在去年的另一篇貼文中，這位收藏家表示，迄今為止「只發現了兩件」。

One of the coin expert's 155,000 followers commented: "Do you lose money coin collecting cause technically you just buy more coins with coins that don’t have special worth and the ones that do have more worth make you money right?"

這位硬幣專家的155,000 名追隨者中的一位評論道：「你收集硬幣會虧錢嗎？因為從技術上講，你只是用沒有特殊價值的硬幣購買更多的硬幣，而那些確實具有更高價值的硬幣可以讓你賺錢，對嗎？

While another claimed their grandma unwittingly bought a very expensive drink: "I swear on everything my grandma had that coin and I told her it is rare but she didn’t believe me and she got thirsty and got a drink. After that I told her that it cost £1000."

另一位則聲稱，他們的奶奶無意中買了一杯非常昂貴的飲料：「我以我奶奶擁有的那枚硬幣發誓，我告訴她這很罕見，但她不相信我，她口渴了，就喝了一杯。
