He first pointed out a £2 coin from 2014 depicting Lord Kitchener, which marks 100 years since WWI began.

他首先指出了一枚 2014 年發行的 2 英鎊硬幣，上面刻著基奇納勳爵，紀念第一次世界大戰爆發 100 週年。

To strike gold, he advised finding a rare error coin missing the “two pounds” inscription on its tails side.

為了開採黃金，他建議找到一枚罕見的錯誤硬幣，其尾部缺少「兩磅」銘文。

He elaborated: “First up, we have this £2 coin from 2014.

他詳細闡述：「首先，我們有這枚 2014 年發行的 2 英鎊硬幣。

“This is known as the Lord Kitchener coin but it isn’t the regular one you need to look for.

「這枚硬幣被稱為基奇納勳爵硬幣，但它不是您需要尋找的常規硬幣。

“The rare error version without ‘two pounds’ on the obverse can be worth about £1,000.”

“正面沒有‘兩英鎊’的罕見錯誤版本可能價值約 1,000 英鎊。”

Furthermore, he urged enthusiasts to search for a 50p piece released to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics, bearing a high jump athlete selected through a Blue Peter competition.

此外，他還敦促愛好者尋找一張為慶祝 2012 年倫敦奧運會而發行的 50 便士作品，上面有一位透過 Blue Peter 比賽選出的跳高運動員。

If you stumble upon a 50 pence coin from 2009 it could fetch around £250.

如果你偶然發現一枚 2009 年的 50 便士硬幣，它的價格可能約為 250 英鎊。

“This is a 50 pence coin part of the 2012 Olympic set with many designs from that year that you can find in your change,” he explained.

「這是一枚 2012 年奧運硬幣的 50 便士硬幣，裡面有許多當年的設計，你可以在零錢中找到，」他解釋道。

“But if you find this athletics coin with a date of 2009, instead of the usual 2011, then you have found a rare first edition of this coin that was part of a competition by Blue Peter.

「但是，如果您發現這枚運動硬幣的日期為 2009 年，而不是通常的 2011 年，那麼您就發現了這枚硬幣的罕見首版，它是 Blue Peter 競賽的一部分。

“£250 pounds for this one.”

“這個要 250 英鎊。”

He also shed light on another Olympic coin potentially worth a staggering £2,000.

He continued: “Here is another 50 pence from the 2011 Olympic set, and is known as the aquatics 50p.

他繼續說道：「這是 2011 年奧運會的另外 50 便士，被稱為水上運動 50 便士。

“This coin features the image of a person swimming. The original design, with waves appearing to pass over their face, is the one you want.

「這枚硬幣的特點是一個人游泳的形象。最初的設計，波浪似乎掠過他們的臉，就是你想要的。

“The original design of this coin had lines over the swimmer’s face, just like this example below, until the Royal Mint changed the design, so the swimmer’s face was more clear without the lines.

「這枚硬幣最初的設計是在游泳者的臉上有線條，就像下面這個例子，直到皇家造幣廠改變了設計，所以游泳者的臉更加清晰，沒有了線條。

“If you are lucky enough to find this exact 50 pence, then you are now £2,000 happier.”

「如果你夠幸運，找到了這 50 便士，那麼你現在就幸福了 2,000 英鎊。”
