A batch of £2 coins minted in 2007 have the date 1807 etched into them - and two have now sold on eBay for £28 and £25.74.

2007 年鑄造的一批 2 英鎊硬幣上刻有 1807 年的日期，其中兩枚現已在 eBay 上以 28 英鎊和 25.74 英鎊的價格出售。

The coins were produced to celebrate the bicentenary of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 - which made it illegal to trade slaves inside the British Empire.

這些硬幣是為了慶祝 1807 年《奴隸貿易法》頒布二百週年而製作的，該法規定在大英帝國境內買賣奴隸是非法的。

These two examples are from the Piedfort silver edition - making them particularly desirable.

這兩個例子來自 Piedfort 銀版 - 這使得它們特別受歡迎。

The £28 sale was finalised on August 31, following 11 bids on eBay, while the £35.74 sale was finalised on September 7, following 17 bids.

經過 eBay 上的 11 次競價，28 英鎊的拍賣於 8 月 31 日最終敲定，而 35.74 英鎊的拍賣在 17 次競價後於 9 月 7 日敲定。

According to the Britannia Coin Company website: "In a standard weight of 24.00 grams, this £2 is struck in .925 sterling silver with a band of fine gold plating around the edge reminiscent of the Two Pounds in your change."

據不列顛硬幣公司網站稱：“這枚 2 英鎊的標準重量為 24 克，採用 0.925 純銀鑄造，邊緣鍍有一條純金帶，讓人想起零錢中的兩英鎊。”

The website states that there were 3,990 of the Piedfort silver 1807 coins issued in total.

該網站稱，1807 年皮德福特銀幣總共發行了 3,990 枚。

Regular versions of the 1807 coin are more common - with 8,445,000 minted in total - and usually only worth their £2 face value.

1807 年硬幣的普通版本更為常見 - 總共鑄造了 8,445,000 枚 - 通常只值 2 英鎊面值。

The coin features the words "An Act For The Abolition Of The Slave Trade" around the date.

硬幣上刻有「廢除奴隸貿易法案」的字樣。

The zero forms part of a chain design, which is broken to signify the end of slavery.

零是鏈條設計的一部分，鏈條被打破就意味著奴隸制的結束。

The "heads" side has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

「頭像」一邊有伊莉莎白二世女王的肖像。

It also features the inscription "Am I Not A Man, And A Brother" - a phrase associated with the abolition.

它還刻有“Am I Not A Man, And A Brother”字樣——這是與廢奴有關的短語。

The sale comes after another kind of £2 coin attracted attention on eBay - selling once for £23 and once for £26.

拍賣是在另一種 2 英鎊硬幣在 eBay 上引起關注之後進行的，一次售價為 23 英鎊，一次售價為 26 英鎊。

The coin, minted in 2018, features lines from the First World War poet Wilfred Owen.

這枚硬幣於 2018 年鑄造，刻有第一次世界大戰詩人威爾弗雷德歐文 (Wilfred Owen) 的詩句。
