這次拍賣的特色是2009年的真實循環花園，狀況良好50便士。

A RARE 50p coin has sold for an astonishing £115 on eBay - that's 230 times its face value - and it might just be hiding in your spare change.

一款罕見的50p硬幣在eBay上以115英鎊的價格出售 - 是其面值的230倍 - 它可能只是藏在您的備用零錢上。

The auction featured a genuine 2009 circulated Kew Gardens 50p in good condition. It attracted six bids before the hammer came down at £115.

拍賣的特色是2009年真正的孔庫花園，狀況良好50便士。它吸引了六個出價，然後錘子下跌115英鎊。

The sale has taken place online and has caught the attention of collectors across London and beyond, who are always on the lookout for rare finds in coins.

此次出售已經在網上進行，引起了倫敦和其他地區的收藏家的注意，他們一直在尋找硬幣中的稀有發現。

The Kew Gardens 50p is widely considered the holy grail of British coin collecting.

Kew Gardens 50便士被廣泛認為是英國硬幣收集的聖杯。

Just 210,000 of these special coins were released into circulation back in 2009, making it the rarest 50p piece ever issued by The Royal Mint.

這些特殊硬幣中只有210,000個在2009年發行，這使其成為皇家造幣廠有史以來最稀有的50便士。

With such low numbers, the odds of one turning up in your change are extremely slim - but not impossible.

由於數量如此之低，更改中一個出現的機率非常苗條 - 但並非不可能。

The reverse of the coin features a detailed image of the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, with a leafy vine spiralling around the structure. It was designed by T Pang.

硬幣的倒轉以庫維（Kew）皇家植物園的著名中國寶塔的詳細圖像，其結構周圍呈綠樹成蔭的藤蔓。它是由T Pang設計的。

The obverse shows the late Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.

正面展示了已故的伊麗莎白女王二世，該女王由伊恩·蘭克·巴德利（Ian Rank-Broadley）設計。

Another Kew 50p recently fetched £134.07 after 19 bids, while similar examples have seen bids starting at £79 depending on the condition. As always, a coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay, but demand for this one remains high.

在19個出價後，另一個股東最近獲得了134.07英鎊的價格，而類似的例子則以79英鎊起價，具體取決於這種情況。與往常一樣，硬幣僅值得某人願意支付的錢，但是對此的需求仍然很高。

It's worth noting that this 2009 version is the original and was actually put into circulation. A second version of the coin was released in 2019 as part of a commemorative set, but it was never intended for everyday use. The newer coin carries the same pagoda design but features a different portrait of the Queen by Mary Gillick and the 2019 date.

值得注意的是，這個2009年的版本是原始版本，實際上是流通的。第二個硬幣的第二版是在2019年發行的，這是紀念套裝的一部分，但從未打算日常使用。較新的硬幣具有相同的寶塔設計，但瑪麗·吉利克（Mary Gillick）和2019年日期的女王肖像有不同的肖像。

Even the 2019 proof version can go for decent sums, one recently sold for £82 after 11 bids. But it's the original 2009 piece that collectors value most.

即使是2019年的證明版本也可以賺取不錯的款項，最近在11個出價後以82英鎊的價格售出。但這是2009年的原始作品收集器最重視的。

The Kew Gardens 50p was launched to celebrate 250 years since the gardens opened in 1759.

自從花園於1759年開業以來，推出了Kew Gardens 50便士，以慶祝250年。

Today, the UNESCO World Heritage Site remains one of Britain’s most iconic attractions, boasting treetop walkways, greenhouses, and historic buildings. It's also home to an incredible 275,000 plants from all over the world.

如今，聯合國教科文組織世界遺產仍然是英國最具標誌性的景點之一，擁有樹梢人行道，溫室和歷史建築。它也是來自世界各地的275,000種令人難以置信的275,000種植物的家園。

The coins are still proving popular with collectors and high prices are still being paid for them at auction.

這些硬幣仍在收藏家中很受歡迎，而在拍賣會上仍在為他們支付高價。
