查理三世國王大西洋鮭魚 50 便士引發了一場小型競購戰

A rare King Charles III 50p coin has sold for almost £200 in an online auction after sparking a bidding war among coin collectors.

一枚罕見的查理三世國王 50 便士硬幣在網上拍賣中以近 200 英鎊的價格在硬幣收藏家中引發了競價戰。

The coin, which features the Atlantic salmon, was released into circulation last year and is the rarest currently in the UK, according to the Royal Mint.

據英國皇家造幣廠稱，這枚以大西洋鮭魚為主題的硬幣於去年投入流通，是目前英國最稀有的硬幣。

Just 200,000 copies of the coin were minted, knocking the “highly collectable” 2009 Kew Gardens 50p off the top spot for the first time in 15 years, the official maker of British coins said.

英國官方硬幣製造商表示，該硬幣僅鑄造了 20 萬枚，15 年來首次將「極具收藏價值」的 2009 年英國皇家植物園 50 便士從冠軍寶座上擠了下來。

Last year marked the final chapter of Charles’ transition onto UK coins, with coins commemorating the coronation and new designs across all denominations from the 1p to £2.

去年標誌著查爾斯向英國硬幣轉型的最後篇章，紀念加冕的硬幣和從 1 便士到 2 英鎊的所有面額的新設計。

Each design highlights Charles’ “passion for conservation and the natural world”, featuring wildlife such as the hazel dormouse and bees, the Royal Mint said.

皇家造幣廠表示，每項設計都凸顯了查爾斯“對保護和自然世界的熱情”，以榛睡鼠和蜜蜂等野生動物為特色。

Described by the Royal Mint as “the nation’s most collectable coin”, the 50p has seen over 100 different designs appear on its reverse since its introduction.

50 便士被英國皇家造幣廠稱為“全國最具收藏價值的硬幣”，自推出以來，其背面已出現 100 多種不同的設計。

Out of the 10 rarest 50ps in circulation, six are related to the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, with Peter Rabbit and Flopsy Bunny coins from 2018 both also making the list.

在流通的 10 枚最稀有的 50 便士硬幣中，有 6 枚與 2012 年倫敦奧運會和殘奧會相關，2018 年的彼得兔和弗洛普西兔子硬幣也榜上有名。

Five Incredibly Rare and Valuable British Coins

五枚極為稀有且珍貴的英國硬幣

The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, largely due to its size and the vast number of collectable designs which have appeared on its heptagonal canvas.

這枚 50 便士硬幣已成為英國最有價值和最收藏的硬幣，很大程度上是因為它的尺寸和七邊形畫布上出現的大量具有收藏價值的設計。

Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

其 27.5 毫米的直徑使其成為英國硬幣中最大的，並為裝飾圖片留出了空間。英國過去50年歷史上經常用它來慶祝重大事件。

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors.

最稀有的硬幣往往具有最大的價值，其發行量（每種設計的硬幣數量）是對收藏家的基本吸引力。

Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

除了設計之外，硬幣增值的其他方面還包括硬幣的狀況以及設計是否有錯誤。

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on ebay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.

出售方式也可以決定硬幣的價值 - 雖然一些硬幣收藏家會在 eBay 或拍賣會上出價大量資金，但其他人則選擇透過硬幣經銷商出售來獲得更穩健的估值。
