這枚稀有的 2 英鎊硬幣於 2007 年鑄造，上面刻有 1807 年的日期，最近兩枚硬幣在網上以 28 英鎊和 25.74 英鎊的價格出售。

A specific £2 coin could be stashed away in your change and it might just be worth 17 times its face value.

一枚特定的 2 英鎊硬幣可以藏在你的找零中，它的價值可能只是其面值的 17 倍。

The rare £2 coins, minted in 2007, have the date 1807 engraved on them and recently two have sold online for £28 and £25.74.

這枚稀有的 2 英鎊硬幣於 2007 年鑄造，上面刻有 1807 年的日期，最近兩枚硬幣在網上以 28 英鎊和 25.74 英鎊的價格出售。

The coins were part of a minting to commemorate 200 years since the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 - which made it illegal to trade slaves in the British Empire.

這些硬幣是為了紀念 1807 年《奴隸貿易法案》通過 200 週年而鑄造的一部分，該法案規定在大英帝國進行奴隸貿易是非法的。

But the reason these specific coins sold for so much is because they are part of the Piedfort silver edition, which makes them especially interesting to collectors.

但這些特定硬幣售價如此高的原因是它們是皮德福特銀版的一部分，這使得收藏家對它們特別感興趣。

There were 3,990 of the Piedfort silver 1807 coins issued in total.

1807 年皮德福特銀幣總共發行了 3,990 枚。

"In a standard weight of 24.00 grams, this £2 is struck in .925 sterling silver with a band of fine gold plating around the edge reminiscent of the Two Pounds in your change," the Britannia Coin Company explained on their website.

「這枚 2 英鎊的標準重量為 24.00 克，採用 0.925 純銀鑄造，邊緣鍍有一條純金帶，讓人想起零錢中的兩英鎊，」不列顛尼亞硬幣公司在其網站上解釋道。

The Piedfort silver 1807 coins were originally sold for around £49, whereas 8,445,000 of the regular 1807 coin were made, and are worth their £2 face value, the Sun reports.

根據《太陽報》報道，1807 年皮德福特銀幣最初售價約為 49 英鎊，而 1807 年普通硬幣的發行量為 8,445,000 枚，面值為 2 英鎊。

The silver coins are worth more because they were struck multiple times meaning they have better detail and quality, as well as their scarcity.

銀幣價值更高，因為它們被多次鑄造，這意味著它們有更好的細節和質量，而且也很稀缺。

The coin features a broken chain motif with the zero forming part of the chain.

該硬幣具有斷鍊圖案以及鏈條的零形成部分。

On the other side is the head of Queen Elizabeth II and it also features the inscription "Am I Not A Man, And A Brother".

另一面是伊莉莎白二世的頭像，上面刻有「Am I Not A Man, And A Brother」字樣。

Meanwhile, a coin expert says there is a detail on some 20 pence pieces which can make it hundreds of times its normal value and known as the “holy grail”.

同時，一位硬幣專家表示，大約 20 便士硬幣上有一個細節，可以使其價值達到正常價值數百倍，被稱為「聖杯」。

In 2008 some 20p coins were minted with the wrong dye and so, as a result, they have no dates.

2008 年，一些 20 便士的硬幣鑄造時使用了錯誤的染料，因此沒有日期。

The mix up was the first time in three centuries a coin had entered circulation without a date.

這次混淆是三個世紀以來第一次沒有日期的硬幣進入流通。
