一位專家敦促英國人留意“超級稀有” 50p硬幣，這可能值得驚人的2,000英鎊。

A keen coin expert has urged Brits to keep an eye out for a "super rare" 50p coin that could be worth a staggering £2,000.

一位敏銳的硬幣專家敦促英國人留意“超級稀有”的50p硬幣，這可能值得驚人的2,000英鎊。

The piece is highly sought after by collectors if it features a specific design.

如果收藏家採用特定的設計，則該作品會受到收藏家的高度追捧。

The coin in question is the 2011 Olympic aquatics 50p. It was produced by the Royal Mint to commemorate the 2012 London Olympics.

所討論的硬幣是2011年奧林匹克水上運動50p。它是由皇家造幣廠製作的，以紀念2012年倫敦奧運會。

On the reverse of the coin, which is better known as the tail side, will be the image of a person swimming through water. However, "one tiny detail" on certain editions of the coin make it far more valuable than others.

在硬幣的相反的情況下，這是一個更稱為尾部的一側，將是一個人在水中游泳的形象。但是，硬幣的某些版本的“一個小細節”使其比其他硬幣更有價值。

In a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, a content creator known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, explained how to spot the mistake.

在上傳到社交媒體平台Tiktok的視頻中，該內容創作者被稱為“收集嚮導的硬幣”，解釋瞭如何發現錯誤。

He said: "Look out for this 50 pence as there is a rare version worth all this money.

他說：“注意這50便士，因為有一個罕見的版本值得所有這些錢。

"This is the coin to look for and the secret is all in the face. This is the 2011 Olympic Aquatics 50p - one of 29 coins released for the London games but there's a super rare version that collectors are obsessed with.”

“這是要尋找的硬幣，秘密全都在臉上。這是2011年奧運會水上運動50p-倫敦遊戲發布的29枚硬幣之一，但有一個超級稀有版本的收藏家痴迷。”

According to the expert, the important detail can be found over the swimmer’s face. He said: "Look closely at the swimmer's face. The common one shows the face normal, just like this example.

據專家說，可以在游泳者的臉上找到重要的細節。他說：“仔細看游泳者的臉。常見的臉顯示出正常的臉，就像這個例子一樣。

"The rare version has wavy water lines over the swimmer's face like this. It's called the ‘lines over face error’ and it was quickly corrected, making those first few releases super limited.”

“稀有版本的游泳者的臉上有波浪的水線。這被稱為“面部誤差線”，並迅速糾正，使前幾個發行的發行超級有限。”

He further stated that one of these error coins sold for more than £2,000 in a private sale.

他進一步指出，這些錯誤硬幣之一以私人銷售的價格出售了超過2,000英鎊。

"That's a 50p coin turning into a holiday, a new laptop or half a car.

“那是一個50便士的硬幣，變成了一個假期，新筆記本電腦或半車。

"Just remember that the regular version is just worth 50p. You need to see those swimming lines over the swimmer's face to be rich. One tiny detail - one massive payday.”

“只要記住，常規版本的價值僅為50便士。您需要在游泳者的臉上看到那些游泳線才能富有。一個小細節 - 一個巨大的發薪日。”

It is thought only around 600 of the "lines over face" coins were made before the design was changed. However, RWB Auctions says that it’s more accurate to say that the design of the coin was "tweaked" rather than there being an error.

人們認為，在更改設計之前，只有大約600個“臉部線”硬幣是製成的。但是，RWB拍賣會說，更準確地說硬幣的設計是“調整”的，而不是存在錯誤。

Its website confirms: "These 2011-dated coins regularly sell for more than a thousand pounds.” In 2024 RWB sold an example of the coin for £1,500.

它的網站證實：“這些2011年的硬幣定期出售一千多英鎊。” 2024年，RWB以1,500英鎊的價格出售了硬幣的例子。
