A RARE King Charles III 50p coin has sold for an astonishing £210 on eBay after being spotted in a collector's lucky change find.

一枚罕見的查理三世國王 50 便士硬幣在一位收藏家的幸運零錢中被發現後，在 eBay 上以 210 英鎊的驚人價格售出。

The coin, which celebrates the King’s first year on the throne, was quickly snapped up with an incredible eight bids on the auction site.

這枚紀念國王登基第一年的硬幣很快就在拍賣網站上以令人難以置信的八次出價被搶購一空。

It features an engraving of an Atlantic salmon leaping from the ocean and was part of a special series released by the Royal Mint in November 2023.

它雕刻著一條從海洋中躍出的大西洋鮭魚，是英國皇家造幣廠於 2023 年 11 月發行的特別系列的一部分。

With only 500,000 of these coins estimated to have entered circulation, they’ve quickly become one of the rarest 50p coins currently available.

這些硬幣估計只有 50 萬枚進入流通，但它們很快就成為目前最稀有的 50 便士硬幣之一。

Christopher Collects of the Britannia Coin Company said: "The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p is the rarest 50p coin out in circulation now.

Britannia Coin Company 的 Christopher Collects 表示：「2023 年大西洋鮭魚 50 便士是目前流通的最稀有的 50 便士硬幣。

"It is rarer than the highly sought-after Kew Gardens 50p, which is why it is selling for large sums of money.

「它比備受追捧的邱園 50 便士更為稀有，這就是它能賣到大筆錢的原因。

"It is worth mentioning that there are two versions though, so you need to be careful when buying it.

「值得一提的是，它有兩個版本，購買時要小心。

"They look very similar, but one has a little Tudor crown privy mark, which is the version sold in annual coin sets.

「它們看起來非常相似，但其中一枚帶有一點都鐸王冠私人印記，這是在年度硬幣套裝中出售的版本。

"The one put into circulation does not have this privy mark. It is the circulated version without the privy mark that is attracting the largest premiums, so make sure you check before spending!"

「投入流通的版本沒有這個私人標誌。只有沒有私人標誌的流通版本才吸引最大的溢價，所以在消費之前一定要檢查一下！”

The November 17 eBay sale involved two coins from a sealed bag, both without the Tudor crown privy mark, which collectors prize most highly.

11 月 17 日的 eBay 拍賣涉及兩枚來自密封袋的硬幣，兩枚硬幣都沒有都鐸王冠的私人標記，而收藏家們最重視的就是這一標記。

After eight bids, the coins sold for an impressive £210.74, highlighting the incredible demand for this 50p piece.

經過八次競標後，這些硬幣以令人印象深刻的 210.74 英鎊成交，凸顯了對這枚 50 便士硬幣的巨大需求。

The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p coin is expected to remain valuable due to its low mintage in its first year, despite being the standard design for 50p coins going forward.

2023 年大西洋鮭魚 50 便士硬幣預計將保持價值，因為第一年的發行量較低，儘管它是未來 50 便士硬幣的標準設計。

Christopher Collects explained: "The 2023 Salmon will still hold a premium being a very low minted year, but whether it holds the value it has now is a tough guess.

Christopher Collects 解釋道：「2023 年鮭魚的鑄造年份仍將保持溢價，但它是否能保持現在的價值還很難猜測。

"All it will take is for there to be a lot minted in a coming year, and it could become very common to find, which might deflate some of the excitement around it."

“所需要的只是在未來的一年中鑄造大量硬幣，並且它可能會變得很常見，這可能會削弱一些圍繞它的興奮感。”

This contrasts with the Kew Gardens 50p, a commemorative coin minted for circulation only in 2009, which remains one of the most famous and consistently valuable 50p coins ever released.

這與英國皇家植物園 50 便士形成鮮明對比，後者是 2009 年才鑄造流通的紀念幣，至今仍是有史以來發行的最著名且價值始終如一的 50 便士硬幣之一。

Christopher added: "Regardless of what it does in the future, right now it is really exciting for coin collecting and has people checking their change looking to turn a 50p into £100+. Events like this help grow the hobby of coin collecting."

Christopher 補充說：「無論未來會發生什麼，現在對於硬幣收集來說確實令人興奮，人們會檢查自己的零錢，希望將50 便士變成100 英鎊以上。這樣的活動有助於培養硬幣收集的愛好。

If you’re lucky enough to find one of these coins in your change, it could mean a significant payday.

如果你夠幸運，在零錢中找到一枚這樣的硬幣，那麼這可能意味著一筆可觀的發薪日。

However, as Christopher warned, it’s essential to ensure the coin you have does not feature the Tudor crown privy mark, as only the non-privy-mark version was minted for circulation and is attracting the highest premiums.

然而，正如克里斯托弗所警告的那樣，確保您擁有的硬幣沒有都鐸王室私人標記非常重要，因為只有無私人標記的版本才被鑄造用於流通，並且吸引了最高的溢價。

To assess its current value, check eBay's recently sold listings under the “sold” filter.

要評估其當前價值，請在「已售」過濾器下檢查 eBay 最近出售的清單。

Keep in mind that prices can vary based on timing, condition, and demand.

請記住，價格可能會根據時間、條件和需求而變化。

So, next time you sift through your change, keep an eye out for the leaping Atlantic salmon – your small change could turn into big money.

所以，下次你篩選零錢時，請留意跳躍的大西洋鮭魚——你的小零錢可能會變成大錢。
