邱園 50 便士由 Stourport-on-Severn 的一位硬幣收藏家擁有，於週五（3 月 10 日）在線上拍賣網站上出售。

該硬幣由皇家造幣廠於 2009 年鑄造，發行量僅為 21 萬枚，被認為是當今流通中最稀有的硬幣之一。

The coin features Queen Elizabeth II on the head and the iconic Chinese Pagoda at Kew on the reverse, with a leafy climber wrapped around the tower.

這枚硬幣的正面是英國女王伊莉莎白二世，背面是邱園標誌性的中國寶塔，周圍環繞著一根枝繁葉茂的攀緣植物。

The 50p sold on eBay had its value verified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, who graded the coin with a PF69 rating.

在錢幣收藏中，PF70 評級的物品被認為是完美的，並且是錢幣可以獲得的最高評級。

A PF69 rating, of which the Kew Gardens 50p sold was given, is the second highest grading afforded by the NGC and denotes an almost perfect coin and contain flaws only visible to the keenest of eyes.

邱園出售的 50 便士的 PF69 評級是 NGC 給出的第二高評級，表示一枚近乎完美的硬幣，其中包含只有最敏銳的眼睛才能看到的瑕疵。

However, due to their popularity, even the poorest condition Kew Gardens 50p coins are still valued of several hundred times their value.

然而，由於它們的受歡迎程度，即使是最糟糕的英國皇家植物園 50 便士硬幣的價值仍然是其價值的數百倍。

A spokesperson for Copes Coins said: "A poor condition Kew Gardens 50p could still be worth around £160 to £180.

Copes Coins 的發言人表示：「一枚狀況不佳的英國皇家植物園 50 便士硬幣仍可能價值 160 至 180 英鎊左右。

"In contrast, a circulated in great condition could fetch anything from £200 to £250 and uncirculated and brilliant uncirculated would have a value of much more."

「相比之下，狀況良好的流通品可以賣到 200 到 250 英鎊之間，而未流通的和精美的未流通的價值要高得多。”
