A 50p coin, featuring Sir Isaac Newton, could be worth more than just pocket change, according to a TikTok user.

一位 TikTok 用戶表示，一枚以艾薩克·牛頓爵士為主角的 50 便士硬幣可能不僅僅是零用錢那麼值錢。

The coin was first released in 2017 and is still in circulation today. However, some of these coins may contain an error that makes them even more valuable.

該硬幣於 2017 年首次發行，至今仍在流通。然而，其中一些硬幣可能包含錯誤，這使得它們更有價值。

In a video posted on TikTok, the user, who goes by the handle @CoinCollectingWizard, explains what to look for if you want to find the valuable error coin.

在 TikTok 上發布的一段影片中，用戶名為 @CoinCollectingWizard 的用戶解釋瞭如果你想找到有價值的錯誤硬幣，需要尋找什麼。

"This 50p could have an error making it valuable. The Sir Isaac Newton 50p is one of the most popular 50p's in circulation, shortly after it was issued in 2017," the user says in the video.

「這張 50 便士可能存在錯誤，使其變得有價值。艾薩克·牛頓爵士 50 便士是 2017 年發行後不久流通的最受歡迎的 50 便士之一，」該用戶在影片中說道。

"What you are looking for is for the obverse to have several extra lines across Queen Elizabeth's portrait. If your coin has these lines, then congratulations you have found it."

“你要尋找的是正面在伊麗莎白女王的肖像上有幾條額外的線條。如果你的硬幣有這些線條，那麼恭喜你找到了它。”

The user goes on to explain that the extra lines are not grooves that have been scratched into the surface of the coin. Instead, they are whiskers that stand slightly proud of the surface.

用戶接著解釋說，額外的線條並不是硬幣表面劃出的凹槽。相反，它們是略微突出表面的鬍鬚。

"This is thought to be an error caused during the striking process, a result of what is known as a dye clash," the user adds.

「這被認為是敲擊過程中引起的錯誤，即所謂的染料衝突的結果，」該用戶補充道。

"Interestingly, the extra lines aren't grooves scratched into the surface of the coin. But rather whiskers standing slightly proud of the surface."

“有趣的是，這些額外的線條並不是硬幣表面刻出的凹槽。而是略微突出表面的鬍鬚。”

It is not known for sure how many of these error coins are in circulation, but they are thought to be extremely rare. Some of these coins have even been listed on the secondary market for more than 100 times face value.

目前尚不清楚這些錯誤硬幣有多少在流通，但據信它們極為罕見。其中一些幣甚至在二級市場上以超過面值100倍的價格上市。
