赫里福德郡的匿名賣家在 eBay 上列出了福爾摩斯 50 便士的硬幣，售價為 8,000 英鎊

硬幣上出現了這位偵探的頭像，戴著煙鬥和獵鹿帽，周圍是他最受歡迎的冒險經歷的名字。

An anonymous seller from Herefordshire has listed a rare Sherlock Holmes 50p coin on eBay for a staggering £8,000. The coin was released by the Royal Mint in 2019 to mark 160 years since the birth of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the character's creator. It features Holmes' profile, complete with pipe and deerstalker hat, surrounded by the names of his most famous adventures. The sleuth's profile appears on the coin with his pipe and deerstalker hat, and the names of his most popular adventures are inscribed around him. Coin designer Stephen Raw chose to create a design that needs a magnifying glass to read the names of these famous cases, hoping to bring out the “inner detective” of anyone who finds the coin in their change. The seller describes the item in the listing as a "must-have" for any fan or collector, and says it could make the perfect addition to any collection of British coins. Its “value is sure to appreciate over time,” the seller adds. This isn't the first pricey collector's coin to hit the county. Recently, a Brexit coin was put on sale for £9,000 in Herefordshire. The collection of coins was first introduced by Sajid Javid in 2020 to mark Britain's departure from the EU. They bear the inscription “Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations” and the date of January 31.

一位來自赫里福德郡的匿名賣家在 eBay 上列出了一枚罕見的福爾摩斯 50 便士硬幣，售價高達 8,000 英鎊。這枚硬幣由皇家造幣廠於 2019 年發行，以紀念該角色的創造者阿瑟·柯南·道爾爵士誕辰 160 週年。它以福爾摩斯的側面為特色，配有煙鬥和獵鹿帽，周圍是他最著名的冒險經歷的名字。硬幣上印有這位偵探的頭像，他戴著煙鬥，戴著獵鹿帽，他的周圍刻著他最受歡迎的冒險經歷的名字。硬幣設計師Stephen Raw選擇創造一種需要放大鏡才能讀取這些著名案例名稱的設計，希望能喚起任何在零錢中發現硬幣的人的「內在偵探」。賣家將清單中的該物品描述為任何粉絲或收藏家的“必備品”，並表示它可以成為任何英國硬幣收藏的完美補充。賣家補充道，「隨著時間的推移，它的價值肯定會升值」。這並不是該縣第一枚昂貴的收藏硬幣。最近，一枚脫歐硬幣在赫里福德郡以 9,000 英鎊的價格出售。該系列硬幣由薩吉德·賈維德 (Sajid Javid) 於 2020 年首次推出，以紀念英國脫離歐盟。它們刻有“與所有國家和平、繁榮和友誼”的字樣以及 1 月 31 日的日期。
