50便士的硬币引发了eBay的竞标战，并最终以157英镑的价格出售

A 50p coin has sold for a huge £157 after sparking something of a bidding war on eBay.

在eBay上引发了一场竞标战争后，一枚50便士的硬币以157英镑的价格售出。

Many coins are sought after by collectors and this one in particular is one of the UK's rarest. Some coins can be worth significantly more than their face value, and this one has an estimated value of around £145 - meaning this lucky seller made some extra profit.

收藏家追捕了许多硬币，尤其是英国最稀有的硬币之一。有些硬币的价值可能比其面值高得多，而且该硬币的估计价值约为145英镑，这意味着这个幸运的卖家赚了一些额外的利润。

The Royal Mint is thought to have produced around 210,000 of these coins, which were launched in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens' opening.

人们认为，皇家造币厂已经生产了大约21万个硬币，这些硬币是在2009年推出的，以纪念锡花园开业250周年。

The piece features the iconic Chinese Pagoda from the gardens on one side and the late Queen's portrait on the other. The coin was listed on eBay as "2009 Kew Gardens 50p Fifty Pence Genuine RARE" and had a starting price of £4.99.

这件作品以一侧的花园中的标志性中国宝塔和已故皇后的肖像为特色。该硬币在eBay上被列为“ 2009 Kew Gardens 50p 50便士真正的稀有”，起价为4.99英镑。

However, a 21-way bidding war saw the price jump up and up, before the coin eventually sold for £157. The buyer must also pay £2.99 for Royal Mail Tracked 48 hour delivery.

但是，在硬币最终以157英镑的价格售出之前，一场21次竞标战争使价格上涨了上涨。买方还必须支付2.99英镑的皇家邮寄，跟踪了48小时的交货。

Experts believe there are still hundreds of thousands of Kew Gardens 50p coins in circulation, so there could well be one lurking in your change. If you do find one, the first thing you should do is check the date.

专家们认为，仍有数十万桶装花园50便士发行，因此您的变化很可能有一个潜伏。如果您确实找到了一个，那么您应该做的第一件事就是检查日期。

This is because the Royal Mint reissued a batch of the coins in 2019 to celebrate 50 years of the 50p, and this version doesn't tend to sell for as much. However, these items have been known to fetch around £70 or £80 on eBay, so it could still be well worth listing it online.

这是因为皇家造币厂在2019年重新发行了一批硬币，以庆祝50便士的50年，而且此版本往往不会太多。但是，众所周知，这些物品在eBay上的价格约为70英镑或80英镑，因此仍然值得在网上列出它。
