兩個50p英國脫歐硬幣鑄造出了錯誤的出口日期，據說價值數万英鎊

在發現錯誤的出口日期錯誤的50p英國脫歐硬幣後，人們敦促人們檢查口袋。

Two 50p Brexit coins minted with the wrong exit date have been discovered - and they could be worth tens of thousands of pounds.

已經發現了兩個50p英國脫歐硬幣，造成了錯誤的出口日期 - 它們的價值可能數万英鎊。

The coins were meant to mark Brexit day on 31 October 2019, but then prime minister Boris Johnson was forced to seek an extension by Parliament.

硬幣本來是在2019年10月31日標記英國脫歐日，但隨後總理鮑里斯·約翰遜（Boris Johnson）被迫通過議會尋求延期。

Around a million of the coins were melted down and recycled after the new Brexit day was set for 31 January 2020.

新英國脫歐日定於2020年1月31日定於新英國脫歐日之後，大約一百萬個硬幣被融化並回收。

But two of the coins survived the process and have now surfaced at Spink & Son auction house.

但是其中兩枚硬幣在這一過程中倖存下來，現在已經浮出水面在Spink＆Son Auction House。

The coins are said to be the only two remaining in circulation, despite a Royal Mint spokesman saying they were unable to confirm the validity of the coins.

儘管皇家造幣廠發言人說他們無法確認硬幣的有效性，但據說硬幣是剩下的兩個流通。

Numismatic specialist Gregory Edmund, from Spink & Son, told The Telegraph: “Ever since the official London Gazette notice for the 2019 Brexit 50 pence has existed, I have wondered if survivors of the one million cancelled coins would one day surface.

來自Spink＆Son的錢幣專家Gregory Edmund告訴電報：“自從倫敦官方公報通知2019年英國脫歐50便士以來，我想知道一百萬個被取消的硬幣的倖存者是否會有一天的表面。

“Given the extremely stringent security at the Royal Mint, to suddenly have two examples survive, and be available for study at the same time, is a unique opportunity.

“鑑於皇家造幣廠的極為嚴格的安全性，突然有兩個例子倖存下來，並且可以同時進行研究，這是一個獨特的機會。

“This truly feels like my Charlie Bucket moment discovering the numismatic Golden Ticket.”

“這確實感覺就像我的查理桶時刻發現了錢幣票一樣。”

A thousand trial coins had also been made to mark the first exit date of March 29 2019, which was missed by Mr Johnson’s predecessor Theresa May.

還製作了一千個審判硬幣，以紀念2019年3月29日的第一個退出日期，約翰遜先生的前任特蕾莎·梅（Theresa May）錯過了這一日期。

Mr Edmund said that if the coins went up for auction he would expect them to fetch more than £40,000.

埃德蒙（Edmund）先生說，如果硬幣進行拍賣，他希望他們能獲得超過40,000英鎊。

He has set up a hotline for people who have found another one of the rare coins to come forward.

他為找到另一個稀有硬幣挺身而出的人建立了熱線。

At the time they were put into circulation, the Brexit coins sparked controversy before entering circulation – and not just for political reasons.

當時他們流通了，英國脫歐硬幣在進入流通之前引發了爭議，而不僅僅是出於政治原因。

Their inscription reads: “Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations.”

他們的銘文寫著：“與各個國家的和平，繁榮與友誼。”

Author Sir Philip Pullman called for the coins to be boycotted for not having an Oxford comma and wrote on Twitter that the omission meant the coin should “be boycotted by all literate people”.

作者菲利普·普爾曼爵士（Sir Philip Pullman）呼籲抵制牛津逗號，並在Twitter上寫道，遺漏意味著硬幣應“被所有識字人民抵制”。

An Oxford comma is used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, so would be placed after the word “prosperity”.

倒數第二個或更多項目的列表中使用了牛津逗號，因此將在“繁榮”一詞之後放置。
