这枚 2 英镑的硬币可能价值高达 65 英镑 - 以下是如何在找零时发现它的方法

全国各地的许多英国人都会收集一些零钱，无论是家里的罐子里、车里还是包里

If you find a particular £2 coin in your spare change, you could be in for a nice payout, as it could be worth up to £65.

如果您在备用零钱中发现一枚特定的 2 英镑硬币，您可能会获得丰厚的奖金，因为它的价值可能高达 65 英镑。

Many Brits across the country will have a collection of spare change, whether it be in a jar at home, in your car, or in your bag. You may not always give your change a second thought. However, you may want to keep an eye out as you could be sitting on a small fortune.

全国各地的许多英国人都会收集一些零钱，无论是放在家里的罐子里、车里还是包里。您可能不会总是重新考虑您的改变。然而，你可能需要留意，因为你可能坐拥一笔不小的财富。

A coin can be worth a significant sum if it is sought after or "rare". One example - and probably the most well-known - is the Royal Mint's Kew Gardens 50p coin, which can potentially go for thousands, and the commemorative 50p coins minted to mark the London 2012 games.

如果一枚硬币受到追捧或“稀有”，那么它可能价值不菲。一个例子——也许是最著名的——是皇家造币厂的邱园 50 便士硬币，其价格可能高达数千美元，以及为纪念 2012 年伦敦奥运会而铸造的 50 便士纪念币。

One £2 is particularly sought after by collectors; however, unlike the Kew Gardens coin, it is not very well known. However, when you take a quick look online, you can see it is sold for more than 30 times its original £2 value.

一枚2英镑的硬币尤其受到收藏家的追捧；然而，与邱园硬币不同的是，它并不是很出名。然而，当你在网上快速浏览一下时，你会发现它的售价是原价 2 英镑的 30 多倍。

The coin in question is The Cattle of Geryon-themed £2 coin. Issued in Gibraltar, the commemorative coin circulated in 2000 and features a sketch of Geryon - a figure in Greek mythology - on the obverse and the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse. According to the rare coin website Numista, the coin has a rarity index of 68 - on its scale from 0 - being the most common - to 100, which means it is very rare.

该硬币是以《革律翁牛》为主题的 2 英镑硬币。该纪念币于 2000 年在直布罗陀发行，正面印有希腊神话中的人物 Geryon 的素描，背面印有英国女王伊丽莎白二世的肖像。根据稀有硬币网站 Numista 的数据，该硬币的稀有指数为 68，其范围从 0（最常见）到 100，这意味着它非常稀有。

The Cattle of Geryon is part of the Twelve Labours of Heracles series, which was minted by the private company PobJoy Mint for the government of Gibraltar in 2020. On the collection, the company said: "The Twelve Labours of Hercules were a series of episodes concerning a penance to be carried out by Hercules, who was one of the greatest of the Greek Heroes.

《杰永牛》是《赫拉克勒斯十二功绩》系列的一部分，该系列由私人公司 PobJoy Mint 于 2020 年为直布罗陀政府铸造。关于藏品，该公司表示：“《赫拉克勒斯十二功绩》是一系列剧集关于赫拉克勒斯要进行的忏悔，他是希腊最伟大的英雄之一。

"The Labours were for Hercules to atone after he slew his family. They were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus. Each coin in the series features one of the Labours." There were only 1,750 versions of each coin minted, making them quite the sought-after item for coin collectors.

“这些劳动是赫拉克勒斯在杀死家人后赎罪的。这些劳动是为欧律斯透斯国王服务超过 12 年而完成的。该系列中的每枚硬币都刻有其中一位劳动。”每枚硬币仅铸造了 1,750 个版本，使其成为钱币收藏家的抢手货。

Several of these coins are currently listed on eBay, which shows that you can make a small fortune if you come across one. Three were sold in September, and they went for between £45 and £65, with up to 16 bids placed on each one.

目前，其中一些硬币已在 eBay 上上市，这表明如果您遇到一枚，您可以赚一笔小钱。其中三件于 9 月份售出，售价在 45 至 65 英镑之间，每件都有多达 16 人出价。

However, it's important to remember that when selling a coin, it is never guaranteed that you'll make a mint, and a coin is only ever worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

然而，重要的是要记住，在出售硬币时，永远不能保证你会赚到钱，而且硬币的价值只取决于有人愿意支付的价格。
