印有查理三世國王圖案的 50 便士硬幣在 eBay 上的售價是其面值的 224 倍

該硬幣於 2023 年才鑄造，是首批印有查理三世國王頭像的硬幣之一。

A lucky eBay seller has managed to sell a 50p coin for an incredible 224 times its original value after sparking a bidding war.

一位幸運的 eBay 賣家在引發競價戰後，以令人難以置信的 224 倍原價出售了一枚 50 便士的硬幣。

The coin was only minted in 2023, making it one of the first to feature King Charles III. It also has a bold design, with an image of the Atlantic salmon on its tails side.

該硬幣於 2023 年才鑄造，是首批印有查理三世國王頭像的硬幣之一。它的設計也很大膽，尾巴一側有大西洋鮭的圖案。

It is currently the rarest 50p coin in circulation, with just 200,000 of them minted - meaning it is even rarer than the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p.

它是目前流通中最稀有的 50 便士硬幣，僅鑄造了 200,000 枚，這意味著它比 2009 年英國皇家植物園發行的 50 便士硬幣還要稀有。

One lucky seller was in for an exciting payday this week after listing theirs online.

一位幸運的賣家在網上列出自己的商品後，本周迎來了令人興奮的發薪日。

Described as "2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p Coin - No Privy Mark - Very Rare", the item had an initial price of 99p.

該商品被描述為“2023 年大西洋鮭魚 50 便士硬幣 - 無私印 - 非常稀有”，初始價格為 99 便士。

But after an 18-way bidding war, this jumped up and up, with a final sale price of £112 - plus £3.49 for Standard Tracked Delivery.

但經過 18 路競價戰後，這款產品的價格一路上漲，最終售價為 112 英鎊，加上標準追蹤配送 3.49 英鎊。

When the coins were released into circulation in 2023, Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint, said: “The releasing of mintage figures is an eagerly anticipated event among the coin collecting community.

當這些硬幣於 2023 年投入流通時，英國皇家造幣廠紀念幣總監 Rebecca Morgan 表示：「發行量數據的發布是硬幣收藏界熱切期待的事件。

"This year is particularly exciting as we reveal the Atlantic Salmon as the rarest 50p in circulation.

「今年尤其令人興奮，因為我們推出了流通中最稀有的 50 便士大西洋鮭魚。

"For the first time in 15 years, the highly collectable Kew Gardens 50p loses its top spot as the rarest in circulation with the Atlantic Salmon 50p splashing its way to number one.

「15 年來，極具收藏價值的英國皇家植物園 50 便士首次失去了流通量最稀有的第一名，大西洋鮭魚 50 便士躍居第一。

“2023 marks pivotal changes for the nation’s coinage, including the introduction of coins celebrating King Charles III’s coronation entering circulation.

「2023 年標誌著國家鑄幣的關鍵變化，包括慶祝國王查理三世加冕的硬幣進入流通。

"Finding these special designs, like the Atlantic Salmon, in your change is a win for all collectors.”

“在你的改變中找到這些特殊的設計，比如大西洋鮭魚，對所有收藏家來說都是一個勝利。”
