請留意一枚印有查理三世國王圖案的 1 英鎊硬幣，可能會帶來豐厚的利潤。最近發行的帶有特殊蜜蜂設計的 1 英鎊硬幣由於特殊的鑄造事故可能價值超過 1,000 英鎊。

Expert The Coin Collector UK, who has more than 145,000 TikTok followers, explained what to look for.

英國硬幣收藏家專家擁有超過 145,000 名 TikTok 粉絲，他解釋了要尋找什麼。

"Check all your bee pound coins," the expert said. "Brand new bee £1 coins entered circulation just last month and an extremely rare error has been discovered within a month.

「檢查一下你所有的蜜蜂鎊硬幣，」專家說。 「全新的 1 英鎊蜜蜂硬幣上個月才剛進入流通，一個月內就發現了一個極其罕見的錯誤。

"The error was spotted by a Post Office worker after a delivery of the new coins reached the general public. The sought-after error coin will be completely golden, missing the standard design feature of a silver centre."

「在向公眾交付新硬幣後，一名郵局工作人員發現了這個錯誤。廣受歡迎的錯誤硬幣將完全是金色的，缺少銀中心的標準設計特徵。”

The enthusiast described the irregularity further, adding: "They noticed an all-gold pound coin that had clearly been minted by mistake.

這位愛好者進一步描述了這種異常情況，並補充說：「他們注意到一枚全金英鎊硬幣顯然是錯誤鑄造的。

"Our 12-sided one pound coins are supposed to be gold only around the edge, with a circular silver cupronickel part in the middle."

“我們的 12 面一英鎊硬幣應該只是邊緣是金的，中間有一個圓形的銀白銀部分。”

None of these misprinted coins have hit the auction block yet. However, they will soon enough.

這些印錯的硬幣還沒有進入拍賣場。然而，他們很快就會。

And they're predicted to attract bids potentially soaring to more than £1,000.

預計它們的出價可能會飆升至 1,000 英鎊以上。

The coin expert concluded: "Errors like this are often snapped up by error collectors, and they aren't cheap.

這位錢幣專家總結道：「像這樣的錯誤經常被錯誤收藏家搶購，而且它們的價格並不便宜。

"They sell potentially for hundreds of pounds, due to their rarity and also the fact that they should not even exist in the first place. The exact price this would sell for is unknown.

「由於它們的稀有性，而且它們本來就不應該存在，因此它們的售價可能高達數百英鎊。具體售價尚不清楚。

"But an estimate of £500 plus seems fair. If it goes to auction, who knows it could reach over £1, 000 if someone really wants this rare coin in their collection."

“但 500 英鎊以上的估價似乎還算公平。如果它被拍賣，誰知道如果有人真的想要收藏這枚稀有硬幣，它的價格可能會超過 1, 000 英鎊。”

According to the Royal Mint, the bee design is part of a new collection of coins "inspired by Britain’s natural habitat".

據英國皇家造幣廠稱，蜜蜂設計是「受英國自然棲息地啟發」的新系列硬幣的一部分。

They were unveiled in early October, with each design "highlighting His Majesty King Charles III’s passion for conservation and the natural world".

它們於十月初揭幕，每項設計都「凸顯了查理三世國王陛下對保護和自然世界的熱情」。

The Royal Mint says: "The new coins mark the final chapter of His Majesty King Charles III’s transition onto British coinage. Several million of the coins are currently in production at The Royal Mint.

英國皇家造幣廠表示：「新硬幣標誌著查理三世國王陛下向英國鑄幣過渡的最後一章。皇家造幣廠目前正在生產數百萬枚硬幣。

"The 50p will be the first coin to enter circulation and is expected to appear in people's change by the end of November, with other denominations expected to enter circulation from 2024 in line with demand."

「50便士將是第一個進入流通的硬幣，預計將在11月底出現在人們的零錢中，其他面額的硬幣預計將從2024年開始根據需求進入流通。”
