鑄造過程中的一個錯誤可能會給那些在零錢中發現一枚特定的 1 英鎊硬幣的人帶來意外之財

People are being urged to check their spare change as a new £1 coin error could see collectors offering up to £1,000 for the lucky find.

人們被敦促檢查他們的備用零錢，因為新的 1 英鎊硬幣錯誤可能會導致收藏家為這一幸運發現提供高達 1,000 英鎊的價格。

The highly sought-after coins, which entered circulation last month, feature a unique bee design but are entirely golden, without the standard silver centre design element.

這些備受追捧的硬幣在上個月開始流通，具有獨特的蜜蜂設計，但完全是金色的，沒有標準的銀色中心設計元素。

The enthusiast explained: "Check all your bee pound coins. Brand new bee £1 coins entered circulation just last month and an extremely rare error has been discovered within a month.

這位愛好者解釋道：“檢查一下你所有的蜜蜂鎊硬幣。全新的蜜蜂鎊硬幣上個月才剛進入流通，一個月內就發現了一個極其罕見的錯誤。”

"The error was spotted by a Post Office worker after a delivery of the new coins reached the general public.

「在向公眾交付新硬幣後，一名郵局工作人員發現了這個錯誤。

"They noticed an all-gold pound coin that had clearly been minted by mistake. Our 12-sided one pound coins are supposed to be gold only around the edge, with a circular silver cupronickel part in the middle."

“他們注意到一枚全金的英鎊硬幣，顯然是錯誤鑄造的。我們的 12 面一英鎊硬幣應該只是邊緣是金的，中間有一個圓形的銀白銀部分。”

Although none of these misprinted coins have been auctioned yet, bids could potentially exceed £1,000.

儘管這些印刷錯誤的硬幣尚未被拍賣，但出價可能超過 1,000 英鎊。

The coin expert concluded: "Errors like this are often snapped up by error collectors, and they aren't cheap.

這位錢幣專家總結道：「像這樣的錯誤經常被錯誤收藏家搶購，而且它們的價格並不便宜。

"They sell potentially for hundreds of pounds, due to their rarity and also the fact that they should not even exist in the first place. The exact price this would sell for is unknown."

“由於它們的稀有性，而且它們本來就不應該存在，因此它們的售價可能高達數百英鎊。具體售價尚不清楚。”

According to Birmingham Live, the bee design is part of a new collection of coins "inspired by Britain’s natural habitat".

根據伯明罕現場報道，蜜蜂設計是「受英國自然棲息地啟發」的新硬幣系列的一部分。

The Royal Mint unveiled them in early October, with each design "highlighting His Majesty King Charles III’s passion for conservation and the natural world".

皇家造幣廠於 10 月初推出了這些設計，每個設計都「凸顯了查理三世國王陛下對保護和自然世界的熱情」。
