罕見的 50 便士硬幣在 eBay 上漲價

A Warrington resident has seized the opportunity to capitalize on a rare 50-pence coin discovered in their possession, listing it on eBay for a substantial premium. The numismatic specimen is offered for £23, excluding postage of £2.70, or can be collected directly from the seller's Warrington abode free of charge.

一名沃靈頓居民抓住了這個機會，將他們手中發現的一枚罕見的 50 便士硬幣變現，並在 eBay 上以高價出售。錢幣樣本的售價為 23 英鎊，不含 2.70 英鎊的郵費，或者可以直接從賣家位於沃靈頓的住所免費領取。

The rarity of this particular 50-pence coin stems from its off-center alignment, a characteristic that distinguishes it as the scarcest among the 29 commemorative pieces minted in 2011 to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics. Popularly known as the "offside rule 50p," the coin is described as being in "good condition."

這枚特殊的 50 便士硬幣的稀有性源於其偏心排列，這一特徵使其成為 2011 年為慶祝 2012 年倫敦奧運會而鑄造的 29 枚紀念幣中最稀有的一枚。這枚硬幣俗稱“越位規則 50 便士”，被描述為“狀況良好”。

The genesis of the commemorative coin collection can be traced back to a competition hosted by the Royal Mint, which invited the public to submit their design concepts. An impressive 30,000 entries were received, of which 29 designs were selected for production.

紀念幣系列的起源可以追溯到英國皇家造幣廠舉辦的競賽，邀請大眾提交他們的設計理念。共收到 30,000 件參賽作品，其中 29 件設計被選中進行製作。

"In preparation for the 2012 London Olympics," elaborated a Royal Mint spokesperson, "the Royal Mint hosted a coin-design competition to create a series of 50-pence coins with an Olympic sports theme. The competition was open to all, resulting in 29 coins and introducing the youngest-ever designer of United Kingdom coinage, a mere nine years old. While the archery coin by Piotr Powaga boasted the highest mintage of 3,345,500, the wrestling coin by Roderick Enriquez had the lowest, with only 1,129,500 produced. Thus, each of these Olympic coins constitutes a rare and enticing addition to any collection."

「為了準備2012 年倫敦奧運會，」皇家造幣廠發言人詳細闡述道，「皇家造幣廠舉辦了一次硬幣設計競賽，設計了一系列以奧林匹克運動為主題的50 便士硬幣。該競賽向所有人開放，最終獲得了29枚硬幣，並介紹了英國歷史上最年輕的硬幣設計師，年僅九歲。彼得·波瓦加設計的射箭硬幣的發行量最高，為3,345,500枚，而羅德里克·恩里克斯設計的摔角硬幣的發行量最低，僅生產了1,129,500枚。 ，每一枚奧運硬幣都是任何收藏中的稀有且誘人的補充。”

The Royal Mint advises potential sellers aiming to profit from rare coins on the secondary market to consider the collectible's mintage, as low mintage often translates to increased value. Collectors are encouraged to research circulation figures before committing to a purchase and seek expert guidance if necessary.

英國皇家造幣廠建議那些想從二級市場上的稀有硬幣中獲利的潛在賣家考慮收藏品的發行量，因為發行量低通常意味著價值增加。我們鼓勵收藏家在決定購買之前研究發行量，並在必要時尋求專家指導。
