硬幣被許多人認為是英國變更收集的“聖杯”之一

A coin expert has urged the public to scour their wallets and piggy banks for a seemingly normal 20p piece that could actually be worth a small fortune.

一位硬幣專家敦促公眾搜尋他們的錢包和小豬銀行，以看似正常的20便士，實際上值得一筆不小的財富。

Despite appearing standard at first glance, this coin is distinguished by an error that has turned it into a collector's item throughout the UK, so much so that some refer to it as the "holy grail" of coins.

儘管乍一看出現了標準，但該硬幣的特點是將其變成了整個英國的收藏家物品，以至於有些人將其稱為硬幣的“聖杯”。

Only a limited number of these were struck in 2008, which means you might come across one in your everyday change.

2008年，其中只有有限的數量被擊中，這意味著您在日常變化中可能會遇到一個。

Speaking on TikTok, the Coin Collecting Wizard shared his knowledge, saying: "Your shield 20 pence coin could be worth £50."

在Tiktok上，收集巫師的硬幣分享了他的知識：“您的Shield 20 Pence Coin可能價值50英鎊。”

But he underlined that they're only valuable if they possess a peculiar error – being undated.

但是他強調說，只有在擁有特殊的錯誤（未註明日期）的情況下，它們才有價值。

"It's all to do with a die mix-up at the Royal Mint, causing the coin to have no date," he added.

他補充說：“這與皇家造幣廠的死亡混合有關，使硬幣沒有約會。”

According to him, less than a quarter of a million of these particular coins were produced out of the 136,360,000 minted in 2008, caused by an older heads side design being accidentally paired with a brand-new tails side design, leading to the date being omitted entirely.

據他說，這些特定硬幣中只有不到四分之一是在2008年的136,360,000枚鑄造中生產的，這是由於較舊的頭部設計與全新的尾巴側設計偶然搭配，導致日期省略了完全。

The coin collector highlighted just how sought-after these rarities are, explaining: "Considered by many as one of the holy grails of UK change collecting, the undated 20p is always at the top of any coin collector's wish list," he claimed, reports the Mirror.

硬幣收藏家強調了這些稀有性之後的追求，並解釋說：“許多人認為是英國變革收集的聖杯之一，未註明日期的20p始終是任何硬幣收藏家的願望清單的頂部，”他聲稱，他聲稱，”鏡子。

"The Royal Mint has confirmed this is the first time in over 300 years that a coin had entered circulation without a date making it extremely sought after by coin collectors."

“皇家造幣廠已經確認，這是硬幣在沒有約會的情況下進入流通的300多年來的第一次，這使得硬幣收藏家非常受到追捧。”

He pointed out that some sellers on eBay had managed to fetch £79.99 for the coin, while others sold them closer to £50.

他指出，eBay上的一些賣家已經設法以79.99英鎊的價格購買了硬幣，而另一些賣家則將其賣給他們接近50英鎊。

"As you can see from these eBay sold prices, the undated 20p is an easy sell for around £50, so always make sure to check those 20p coins," he elaborated.

他詳細闡述說：“從這些eBay售出的價格中可以看到，未註明日期的20便士售價約50英鎊左右，因此請務必檢查那些20p硬幣。”

The Royal Mint has commented on this unusual currency, saying: "In November 2008 a number of 20p coins were incorrectly minted, resulting in the coins being undated.

皇家造幣廠對這種不尋常的貨幣發表了評論，他說：“ 2008年11月，有許多20便士的硬幣被錯誤地鑄造出來，導致硬幣未註明日期。

"These coins remain legal tender and still have a face value of 20p."

“這些硬幣仍然是法定貨幣，仍然具有20便士的面值。”
