一位硬币专家在他的 TikTok 页面上分享了视频，重点介绍了一枚有错误的特殊纪念币。

The rare £2 coin in question is a 2014 print featuring Lord Kitchener, most known from the famous First World War recruitment posters.

这枚罕见的 2 英镑硬币是 2014 年发行的，印有基奇纳勋爵的头像，最著名的是著名的第一次世界大战征兵海报。

The Royal Mint produced approximately 5,720,000 copies of these £2 coins to mark 100 years since the war started.

英国皇家铸币厂生产了约 5,720,000 枚 2 英镑硬币，以纪念战争爆发 100 周年。

However, a certain misprint, known as a “mule error”, could bump the actual value of the coin up to £1,240.

然而，某种被称为“骡子错误”的印刷错误可能会使硬币的实际价值高达 1,240 英镑。

The Coin Collector UK explained in one post: “One of these £2 coins sells for £1,240. So the one that you want to be looking out for in your change, is this one right here. This is the Lord Kitchener from 2014 and there's an extremely rare error to be found on this coin.

英国硬币收藏家在一篇文章中解释道：“其中一枚 2 英镑的硬币售价为 1,240 英镑。因此，您在更改时要注意的就是这里的这一点。这是 2014 年的基奇纳勋爵硬币，在这枚硬币上发现了极其罕见的错误。

“So, the error that you want to be checking for when we flip the coin over to the Queen's head side, the obverse, you can see just at the bottom, it says the words ‘two pounds’. However, the Royal Mint mistakenly minted a number of these without the words ‘two pounds’ and this is called a mule error.”

“因此，当我们将硬币翻转到女王的头部一侧时，您想要检查的错误，即正面，您可以在底部看到，上面写着“两磅”字样。然而，皇家造币厂错误地铸造了一些没有“两磅”字样的硬币，这被称为骡子错误。”

In a more recent, pinned video on his page, which has had 2.1 million views so far, the expert is seen still on the hunt for the elusive coin.

在他的页面上最近发布的一段视频中，该视频迄今已有 210 万次观看，视频中可以看到这位专家仍在寻找这枚难以捉摸的硬币。

The clip, entitled 'Another day hunting for the Lord Kitchener error worth £1,240', has him flipping through multiple bags of £2 coins.

这段视频的标题是“又一天寻找价值 1,240 英镑的基奇纳勋爵错误”，视频中他翻阅了多袋装有 2 英镑的硬币。

In it, he finds coins featuring Shakespeare tragedies and histories, Guy Fawkes, the abolition of the slave trade and VE Day. Unfortunately there are no Lord Kitchener coins, let alone one with the sought-after error.

在里面，他发现了带有莎士比亚悲剧和历史、盖伊·福克斯、废除奴隶贸易和胜利日的硬币。不幸的是，没有基奇纳勋爵的硬币，更不用说带有广受追捧的错误的硬币了。

In another post from last year, the collector said that "only two" have so far been found.

在去年的另一篇帖子中，这位收藏家表示，迄今为止“只发现了两件”。

One of the coin expert's 155,000 followers commented: "Do you lose money coin collecting cause technically you just buy more coins with coins that don’t have special worth and the ones that do have more worth make you money right?"

这位硬币专家的 155,000 名追随者中的一位评论道：“你收集硬币会亏钱吗？因为从技术上讲，你只是用没有特殊价值的硬币购买更多的硬币，而那些确实具有更高价值的硬币可以让你赚钱，对吗？”

While another claimed their grandma unwittingly bought a very expensive drink: "I swear on everything my grandma had that coin and I told her it is rare but she didn’t believe me and she got thirsty and got a drink. After that I told her that it cost £1000."

另一位则声称，他们的奶奶无意中买了一杯非常昂贵的饮料：“我以我奶奶拥有的那枚硬币发誓，我告诉她这很罕见，但她不相信我，她口渴了，就喝了一杯。之后我告诉她花费了 1000 英镑。”
