Brits are being urged to check their spare change as they could be sitting on a small fortune.

英國人被敦促檢查他們的零錢，因為他們可能坐擁一筆不小的財富。

An innocuous-looking coin might seem like your average 20p piece, but coin collectors would tell you there's more than meets the eye.

一枚看似無害的硬幣可能看起來與普通的 20 便士硬幣沒什麼兩樣，但硬幣收藏家會告訴您，裡面的東西遠不止表面上看到的那麼簡單。

A valuable 25 pence coin created during an experimental phase in 1981 could make its owner up to £1,700 richer, as highlighted by The Coin Collector UK who revealed the details on TikTok.

正如英國硬幣收藏家在 TikTok 上透露的細節所強調的那樣，1981 年實驗階段創造的一枚價值 25 便士的硬幣可以使其所有者增加 1,700 英鎊。

This unique coin is believed to have been a test piece by Royal Mint craftspeople considering the denomination choices before the iconic 20p entered our pockets in 1982.

這種獨特的硬幣被認為是皇家造幣廠工匠在 1982 年標誌性的 20 便士進入我們的口袋之前考慮面額選擇的測試品。

The Coin Collector explained: "£1,700 pounds for this trial 25 pence coin. Yes, you heard correctly, this is a 25 pence trial piece. The Royal Mint almost opted for a 25 pence before changing last minute and going with the well-recognized, 20 pence, identical in design to this trial coin.

錢幣收藏家解釋道：「這枚25 便士的試幣價值1,700 英鎊。是的，你沒聽錯，這是一枚25 便士的試幣。皇家造幣廠差點就選擇了25 便士，但在最後一刻改變並選擇了廣受認可的硬幣。

"This rare specimen recently sold at auction for over three times its estimate.

「這件罕見的標本最近在拍賣會上以超過估價三倍的價格售出。

"Experts believed that it would fetch anywhere from £500 to £700 but it ended up going for the huge sum of £1,700 pounds."

“專家們認為它的售價在 500 至 700 英鎊之間，但最終卻達到了 1,700 英鎊的巨額。”

Not many of these coins made it into the wild, Lancs Live reports.

根據 Lancs Live 報導，這些硬幣中沒有多少能流入野外。

The Coin Collector continued: "There are thought to be no more than 50 of these in circulation and even fewer in nickel brass like this one, which was found by a man in Wiltshire who was lucky enough to find it in his change.

硬幣收藏家繼續說：「據認為，流通中的硬幣不超過50 枚，像這枚這樣的鎳黃銅硬幣就更少了，它是由威爾特郡的一名男子發現的，他很幸運地在找零時發現了它。

"Trial pieces like this are also often referred to as pattern coins. These are prototype coins, which often never make it into circulation."

“像這樣的試鑄幣通常也被稱為模型幣。這些是原型幣，通常永遠不會進入流通。”

He explained that the rarity of the coin is what gives it its value.

他解釋說，硬幣的稀有性賦予了它價值。

"It's this rarity factor that gives them such a high price on the collector's market.

「正是這種稀有性因素使得它們在收藏市場上具有如此高的價格。

"So get checking your 20 pence coins."

“所以檢查一下你的 20 便士硬幣吧。”
