硬幣收藏家發現了50便士硬幣的微小錯誤，現在在eBay上以超過25,000英鎊的價格出售。

The Royal Mint produced one-off Peter Rabbit coins to commemorate 150 years after the much-loved author Beatrix Potter was born. These were put into circulation over the 2016 Easter weekend and also marked the first time a fictional character appeared on a British coin.

皇家造幣廠生產了一次性的彼得·兔子硬幣，以紀念備受喜愛的作家比阿特里克斯·波特（Beatrix Potter）出生150年。這些在2016年復活節週末被傳播，也標誌著英國硬幣上第一次出現虛構的角色。

Due to their popularity, the following year the Royal Mint released four additional Beatrix Potter themed coins with nearly 20,000,000 being put into circulation. This included the ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ coin, which was the first of Miss Potter’s tales and the mischievous character is captured in the centre.

由於它們的受歡迎程度，第二年，皇家造幣廠發布了另外四個Beattrix Potter主題硬幣，並發行了將近20,000,000個。其中包括“彼得·兔子硬幣的故事”，這是波特小姐的故事中的第一個，調皮的角色被捕獲在中心。

With so many being put into circulation, the coins, designed by Royal Mint engraver Emma Noble, are not usually considered rare and normally worth several pounds at most. However, one observant coin collector has noticed that their coin has a slight defect which has caused the dramatic rise in price.

隨著許多人被流通，由皇家薄荷雕刻師Emma Noble設計的硬幣通常不被認為是罕見的，通常最多價值幾磅。但是，一個觀察到的硬幣收集器注意到，他們的硬幣有一個輕微的缺陷，這導致了價格急劇上漲。

The coin has a ‘lump of metal’ at the bottom of Peter Rabbit’s foot that the coin collector, who lives in Dereham, says is completely unique.

硬幣在彼得·兔子（Peter Rabbit）的腳下有一個“金屬團塊”，居住在德里漢姆（Dereham）的硬幣收藏家說是完全獨一無二的。

‘This 50p coin has a small anomaly at the base of the foot of the main character in the centre of the coin, which I believe is an error, can't find anything similar online,’ the listing on the online marketplace reads.

在線市場上的列表中，“我認為這是50p硬幣在主要角色中心的腳下有一個小的異常，我認為這是一個錯誤，在網上找不到類似的東西。”

As coins with imperfections have sold for drastically more than face value in the past, the coin collector has decided to list the coin with an initial asking price of £25,086.72. There is also a £8.96 postage fee and returns are not accepted.

由於過去的硬幣賣出了巨大的售價，而不是過去的面值，因此硬幣收集器已決定以25,086.72英鎊的初始要價列出硬幣。還有8.96英鎊的郵費，不接受退貨。

The ‘Tale of Peter Rabbit’ was the first in a series of 23 little tales by Miss Potter. The 2017 coin featured Peter hopping away, while the 2016 version showed him holding onto the lapels of his trademark blue jacket.

“彼得·兔子的故事”是波特小姐的23個小故事中的第一個。 2017年的硬幣以彼得·霍普（Peter Hophing）為特色，而2016年版本則表明他堅持了自己的商標藍夾克（Blue Jacket）的翻領。

The first round of Peter Rabbit coins were first trickled into circulation in the Lake District where the legendary author, who was born in Kensington, West London, used to go on holiday as a child. Among other places in the area, Miss Potter would spend summers with her family at Lingholm estate near Keswick, Cumbria. The grounds and garden of the Grade-II listed manor house is where the young author first imagined the adventures of Peter Rabbit and his friends.

第一輪彼得·兔子硬幣首先在湖區的流通中，傳奇作家出生於西倫敦的肯辛頓，小時候去了度假。在該地區的其他地方，Potter小姐將與她的家人在坎布里亞郡凱斯威克附近的Lingholm Estate共度夏天。年輕作家首先想像彼得·兔子和他的朋友們的冒險經歷的II級莊園之家的地面和花園。
