這是一枚 1 歐元的硬幣，在拍賣會上最高可達 700 歐元

如果錢幣收藏家擁有一枚令人垂涎的 1 歐元樣本，那麼他們可能會很幸運，其價格最高可達 700 歐元

Coin collectors could be in luck if they have in their possession a coveted 1-euro specimen, whose price can fetch up to 700 euros. It is a coin from the last century, and its exclusivity lies in its age. The year was 1999 and the dreaded 'Y2K bug' was the main concern at the time, as well as the impending change to the Euro across much of the EU.

如果錢幣收藏家擁有一枚令人垂涎的 1 歐元樣本，那麼他們可能會很幸運，而其價格最高可達 700 歐元。這是一枚上世紀的硬幣，其獨特之處在於它的年代。那是 1999 年，可怕的「千年蟲」是當時主要關注的問題，而且歐盟大部分地區即將對歐元進行調整。

In Spain the change was gradual and the euro coexisted with the peseta for more than a year, until 1 January 2022, when it became the only valid currency. Three years earlier, in 1999, the first euros began to be minted, allowing the public to get used to them.

在西班牙，這種變化是漸進的，歐元與比塞塔共存了一年多，直到 2022 年 1 月 1 日，歐元成為唯一有效貨幣。三年前，即 1999 年，第一批歐元開始鑄造，讓大眾習慣了它們。

This exclusive coin dates back to 1999 and sells for around 700 euros on specialised sites as only a few were produced. On the front it is an ordinary coin. Its '1 euro' symbol and its gold and silver colours make it look like any other. However, it is the other side that justifies its high value.

這種獨特的硬幣可以追溯到 1999 年，由於產量很少，在專門網站上的售價約為 700 歐元。正面是一枚普通硬幣。它的“1 歐元”符號和金色和銀色使其看起來與其他任何東西都一樣。然而，另一方面也證明了其高價值。

On the back, the coin, minted in France, shows the French motto 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité', together with the initials of the French Republic (RF) and a tree with many branches and leaves. The detail that boosts the value of the coin is precisely the year of minting: the 1999 at the bottom.

這枚法國鑄造的硬幣背面印有法國座右銘“自由、平等、博愛”，以及法蘭西共和國 (RF) 的首字母和一棵長著許多枝葉的樹。提升硬幣價值的細節正是鑄造年份：底部的 1999 年。

其他有價值的貨幣

There are many other valuable coins that are resold on the market. Five-peseta coins, also known as "duros", are a type of coin minted from the end of the 19th century until the introduction of the euro. According to data from the Banco de España, at the time of the changeover from pesetas to euros, not all the old coins were updated. In fact, it is estimated that 266,051 million of these coins remained unchanged.

還有許多其他有價值的硬幣在市場上轉售。五比塞塔硬幣，也稱為“杜羅”，是 19 世紀末至歐元問世期間鑄造的一種硬幣。根據西班牙銀行的數據，從比塞塔轉換為歐元時，並非所有舊硬幣都被更新。事實上，據估計，其中 2,660.51 億枚硬幣保持不變。

It is therefore not unusual to find peseta coins still hanging around in many Spanish households. As the peseta was withdrawn from circulation it started to increase in value among coin collectors.

因此，在許多西班牙家庭中仍然掛著比塞塔硬幣並不罕見。隨著比塞塔退出流通，它在硬幣收藏家中的價值開始增加。

Certain specimens have managed to fetch thousands of euros on the market. According to Rafael Sánchez, a coin expert, the five peseta coins, for example, have a high value. This is because they are difficult to find or are part of a well-known collection.

某些標本已在市場上賣了數千歐元。根據硬幣專家拉斐爾·桑切斯（Rafael Sánchez）介紹，例如，五枚比塞塔硬幣就具有很高的價值。這是因為它們很難找到或屬於知名收藏品的一部分。

As for the conditions that characterise a coin of this type as valuable, Sánchez explains that it must be in excellent condition. However, in some cases, pieces with minting errors or rarities can be even more valuable.

至於使此類硬幣具有價值的條件，桑切斯解釋說，它必須處於良好的狀態。然而，在某些情況下，有鑄幣錯誤或稀有的作品可能更有價值。
