一款罕见的50p硬币在eBay上以115英镑的价格出售 - 是其面值的230倍 - 它可能只是藏在您的备用零钱上。

The auction featured a genuine 2009 circulated Kew Gardens 50p in good condition. It attracted six bids before the hammer came down at £115.

拍卖的特色是2009年真正的孔库花园，状况良好50便士。它吸引了六个出价，然后锤子下跌115英镑。

The sale has taken place online and has caught the attention of collectors across London and beyond, who are always on the lookout for rare finds in coins.

此次出售已经在网上进行，引起了伦敦和其他地区的收藏家的注意，他们一直在寻找硬币中的稀有发现。

The Kew Gardens 50p is widely considered the holy grail of British coin collecting.

Kew Gardens 50便士被广泛认为是英国硬币收集的圣杯。

Just 210,000 of these special coins were released into circulation back in 2009, making it the rarest 50p piece ever issued by The Royal Mint.

这些特殊硬币中只有210,000个在2009年发行，这使其成为皇家造币厂有史以来最稀有的50便士。

With such low numbers, the odds of one turning up in your change are extremely slim - but not impossible.

由于数量如此之低，更改中一个出现的几率非常苗条 - 但并非不可能。

The reverse of the coin features a detailed image of the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, with a leafy vine spiralling around the structure. It was designed by T Pang.

硬币的倒转以库维（Kew）皇家植物园的著名中国宝塔的详细图像，其结构周围呈绿树成荫的藤蔓。它是由T Pang设计的。

The obverse shows the late Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.

正面展示了已故的伊丽莎白女王二世，该女王由伊恩·兰克·巴德利（Ian Rank-Broadley）设计。

Another Kew 50p recently fetched £134.07 after 19 bids, while similar examples have seen bids starting at £79 depending on the condition. As always, a coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay, but demand for this one remains high.

在19个出价后，另一个股东最近获得了134.07英镑的价格，而类似的例子则以79英镑起价，具体取决于这种情况。与往常一样，硬币仅值得某人愿意支付的钱，但是对此的需求仍然很高。

It's worth noting that this 2009 version is the original and was actually put into circulation. A second version of the coin was released in 2019 as part of a commemorative set, but it was never intended for everyday use. The newer coin carries the same pagoda design but features a different portrait of the Queen by Mary Gillick and the 2019 date.

值得注意的是，这个2009年的版本是原始版本，实际上是流通的。第二个硬币的第二版是在2019年发行的，这是纪念套装的一部分，但从未打算日常使用。较新的硬币具有相同的宝塔设计，但玛丽·吉利克（Mary Gillick）和2019年日期的女王肖像有不同的肖像。

Even the 2019 proof version can go for decent sums, one recently sold for £82 after 11 bids. But it's the original 2009 piece that collectors value most.

即使是2019年的证明版本也可以赚取不错的款项，最近在11个出价后以82英镑的价格售出。但这是2009年的原始作品收集器最重视的。

The Kew Gardens 50p was launched to celebrate 250 years since the gardens opened in 1759.

自从花园于1759年开业以来，推出了Kew Gardens 50便士，以庆祝250年。

Today, the UNESCO World Heritage Site remains one of Britain’s most iconic attractions, boasting treetop walkways, greenhouses, and historic buildings. It's also home to an incredible 275,000 plants from all over the world.

如今，联合国教科文组织世界遗产仍然是英国最具标志性的景点之一，拥有树梢人行道，温室和历史建筑。它也是来自世界各地的275,000种令人难以置信的275,000种植物的家园。

The coins are still proving popular with collectors and high prices are still being paid for them at auction.

这些硬币仍在收藏家中很受欢迎，而在拍卖会上仍在为他们支付高价。
