目光敏锐的硬币收藏家已经发现了新版 Gruffalo's Child 50 便士硬币的细节，这可能使该硬币价值高达 43 英镑。

The Royal Mint yesterday unveiled a special 50p coin to mark the 20th anniversary of the beloved children's book The Gruffalo's Child.

英国皇家造币厂昨天推出了一枚特殊的 50 便士硬币，以纪念深受喜爱的儿童读物《咕噜牛的孩子》出版 20 周年。

But coin experts have pointed out that the Gruffalo Child on the coin has less toes compared to the original version.

但钱币专家指出，与原版相比，硬币上的咕噜牛小孩的脚趾更少。

It appears the Gruffalo Child on the new coin has three toes on each foot, whereas the one in the animated film and book has four toes on each foot.

新硬币上的咕噜牛小孩每只脚有三个脚趾，而动画电影和书中的咕噜牛小孩每只脚有四个脚趾。

A post published on the Coin Hunter Facebook page reads: "In the book and the film, The Gruffalo's child has 4 toes and claws on each foot with footprints showing indents of 4 toe / claw marks in the snow.

Coin Hunter Facebook 页面上发布的一篇帖子写道：“在书和电影中，咕噜牛的孩子每只脚上都有 4 个脚趾和爪子，脚印在雪中显示出 4 个脚趾/爪子的凹痕。

"Whilst the coin itself features an image taken from a page in the book, it has been slightly amended for the coin design – to show the feet that were covered by snow and 5 footprints in the snow that were not in front of The Gruffalo's child in the original illustration.

“虽然硬币本身的图像取自书中的一页，但硬币的设计略有修改——显示被雪覆盖的脚和雪中的 5 个脚印，这些脚印不在咕噜牛孩子的面前。在原始插图中。

"The feet only show 6 claws, whilst this could simply be down to the view angle (where 2 of the 8 claws seen in the original drawings could be hidden) – on close inspection, it does appear that the Gruffalo’s child featuring on this coin, does only have 3 toes on each foot."

“脚上只显示了 6 个爪子，而这可能只是因为视角的原因（原图中看到的 8 个爪子中的 2 个可能被隐藏了）——仔细观察，这枚硬币上确实出现了咕噜牛的孩子，每只脚只有 3 个脚趾。”

The new coin is available in a range of finishes, including brilliant uncirculated, silver proof and gold proof.

新硬币有多种饰面可供选择，包括亮面未流通硬币、精制银币和精制金币。

The brilliant uncirculated 50p coin is available for £7.95 from The Royal Mint website, while the silver proof 50p coin costs £67.50 and the gold proof 50p coin is priced at £1,220.
