Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

其 27.5 毫米的直徑使其成為英國硬幣中最大的，並為裝飾圖片留出了空間。英國過去50年歷史上經常用它來慶祝重大事件。

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors.

最稀有的硬幣往往具有最大的價值，其發行量（每種設計的硬幣數量）是對收藏家的基本吸引力。

Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

除了設計之外，硬幣增值的其他方面還包括硬幣的狀況以及設計是否有錯誤。

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on ebay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.

出售方式也可以決定硬幣的價值 - 雖然一些硬幣收藏家會在 eBay 或拍賣會上出價大量資金，但其他人則選擇透過硬幣經銷商出售來獲得更穩健的估值。
