People are being urged to look out for a rare £2 coin that could earn you a small fortune.

敦促人們尋找一枚稀有的2英鎊硬幣，可以為您帶來一小筆錢。

The unusual gold £2 piece was minted only 13 years ago in 2012. Yet, it is historically important to Britain and marks a global event.

不尋常的黃金2英鎊僅在13年前在2012年才鑄造出來。然而，這對英國來說歷史上很重要，標誌著全球活動。

The Royal Mint says: "Struck to commemorate the transition of the Olympic Games from London to Rio de Janeiro, the 2012 Olympic Games Handover £2 coin symbolises the passing of the Olympic flag from one host city to another. The reverse design, created by Jonathan Olliffe, depicts a baton being passed between two hands, with the flags of the UK and Brazil joined in motion.

皇家造幣廠說：“為紀念奧運會從倫敦到里約熱內盧的過渡，2012年的奧林匹克運動會移交了2英鎊，象徵著奧運會旗幟從一個東道主城市傳遞到另一個東道國。反向設計。喬納森·奧利裡夫（Jonathan Olliffe）描繪了一隻警棍在兩隻手之間通過，英國的旗幟和巴西也加入了運動。

"Like its predecessor, the coin carries the edge inscription 'I CALL UPON THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD'." In 2012, London made history as the first city to host the Olympic Games three times, having done so already in 1908 and 1948, reports the Mirror.

“像它的前身一樣，硬幣都帶有邊緣銘文'我呼籲世界的青年'。”據《鏡報》報導，在2012年，倫敦成為第一個舉辦奧運會三次的城市，這是在1908年和1948年舉行的。

It saw more than 10,000 athletes compete across 26 sports at the newly constructed Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. When it was time to 'handover' the games to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, just 1,200 gold £2 coins were made to celebrate the occasion, according to MJ Hughes Coins.

在斯特拉特福德的新建的伊麗莎白皇后奧林匹克公園，有10,000多名運動員參加了26場運動。根據MJ Hughes Coins的說法，當將奧運會“移交給巴西里約熱內盧”時，只有1200英鎊的硬幣是為了慶祝這一場合。

This is partly why they are deemed so valuable, with coin dealers at Bullion By Post and Chards listing gold editions at £1,558 and £1,478, respectively. "The 2012 Olympic Handover to Rio £2 coin was issued to mark the handover from London to the next Olympic Games host, Rio de Janeiro," Chards writes in regards to the '2012 UK Coin £2 Gold Proof Olympic Handover to Rio'.

這就是為什麼他們被認為如此有價值的部分原因，郵政和木瓜的硬幣經銷商分別以1,558英鎊和1,478英鎊的價格上市。 Chards寫道：“ 2012年向里約熱內盧2幣交換了2枚硬幣，以標記從倫敦到下一屆奧運會主持人里約熱內盧的交接。”

"The 2012 Olympic Handover £2 coin was also produced in the following finishes: uncirculated, brilliant uncirculated in a presentation folder, silver proof and silver proof piedfort." Despite these impressive valuations, it's crucial to note that a coin's worth is heavily influenced by its condition.

“ 2012年的奧林匹克移交£2硬幣也在以下飾面中生產：在演示文件夾中未流通，明亮的未流通，證明銀色和銀色的piedfort。”儘管這些令人印象深刻的估值，但至關重要的是要注意，硬幣的價值受到其狀況的影響很大。

Chris Yang, co-founder of Coins Value, has previously said: "Coins in perfect 'mint' condition are worth far more than their well-worn, damaged, and poor-condition counterparts. Sometimes a minor difference in grade translates to hundreds, maybe thousands in value."

硬幣價值的聯合創始人克里斯·楊（Chris Yang）此前曾說過：“處於完美的'薄荷'條件下的硬幣遠遠超過了他們破舊，損壞和條件較差的同行。也許有成千上萬的價值。”

Aside from this, he also said it is 'best practice' to hold on to rare coins, unless the need for money is urgent. "The better issues of these important coins gain in value over time," he continued. "The prices of these scarce coins are subject to some uncertainty based on alterations in the overall market and economy.

除此之外，他還說，除非緊急賺錢，否則堅持稀有硬幣是“最佳實踐”。他繼續說：“隨著時間的流逝，這些重要硬幣的價值增長了更好的問題。” “這些稀缺硬幣的價格基於整體市場和經濟的變化，因此會遭受一些不確定性。

"When selling, shop around various dealers and obtain the best price. An auction house is considered to achieve the maximum value for really spectacular pieces. Be prepared to pay a 10-20% commission on the selling price."

“出售時，請在各種經銷商周圍購物並獲得最優惠的價格。拍賣行被認為是為了實現真正壯觀的物品的最大價值。準備以銷售價格支付10-20％的佣金。”
