英国皇家造币厂揭晓英国最稀有、最有价值的 50 便士硬币

这枚 50 便士硬币已成为英国最有价值、最具收藏价值的硬币，其七边形画布上出现了许多具有收藏价值的设计。

The Royal Mint coins, which date back to 1983, are rising in value thanks to a rare mistake in the wording on the coins.

英国皇家造币厂硬币的历史可以追溯到 1983 年，由于硬币上罕见的文字错误，其价值正在不断上涨。

The error makes them highly sought after by collectors, with just a small number of the coins being minted.

这一错误使得它们受到收藏家的追捧，仅铸造了少量硬币。

TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard explained: “Did you know about the New Pence 2p coin worth £1,000? Don't worry though this one is 1971 and not the rare date.

TikTok 用户@CoinCollectingWizard 解释道：“你知道价值 1000 英镑的新便士 2 便士硬币吗？别担心，虽然这是 1971 年，而且并不是罕见的日期。

"Want to know what rare New Pence coins to look out for, keep watching. After the design changed from New Pence to Two Pence in 1982, a mistake was made during production of a small number of 1983 coins."

“想知道有哪些稀有的新便士硬币值得关注，请继续关注。1982 年设计从新便士改为两便士后，在生产少量 1983 年硬币时出现了错误。”

The coins to look out for were struck with the old inscription of New Pence rather than Two Pence, but still carry the 1983 date.

值得注意的是，这些硬币上刻有旧的“新便士”铭文，而不是“两便士”铭文，但仍带有 1983 年的日期。

“If it says New Pence on the reverse instead of the words Two Pence then you have found it.,” they explained.

“如果背面写着新便士而不是两便士，那么你就找到了它。”他们解释道。

“If you are lucking enough to find a 1983 New Pence 2p in your change, then it is worth around £1,000. You are more likely to find the coin in the 1983 Royal Mint set though as this is where the mistake happened."

“如果你足够幸运，在找零时找到一张 1983 年新便士 2 便士，那么它的价值约为 1,000 英镑。不过，你更有可能在 1983 年皇家造币厂套装中找到这枚硬币，因为这就是错误发生的地方。”
