Coin expert and YouTuber Christopher Collects, who works with RWB Auctions, said: “We know that this is not a one-off, so there are likely similar coins out there, either put aside as a curiosity like this one or still circulating.

硬幣專家和YouTuber Christopher收集了與RWB拍賣合作的人，他說：“我們知道這不是一次性的，因此可能有類似的硬幣，要么像這樣的好奇心，要么仍然在流傳。

“When coins are made, a blank disc of metal is struck between two dies. If the wrong blank is fed into the machine, then the result is an error coin with a familiar design but made of the wrong metal.

“製成硬幣時，將在兩個模具之間敲出一塊金屬圓盤。如果錯誤的空白被送入機器中，則結果是帶有熟悉設計的錯誤硬幣，但由錯誤的金屬製成。

“With modern quality control processes, most mistakes of this impacts are identified quickly but it is clear that a small number of error 2p coins were released into circulation in 1985.

“通過現代質量控製過程，這種影響的大多數錯誤都會很快確定，但是很明顯，1985年釋放了少數錯誤2P硬幣。

“Just a few of these 1985 cupronickel 2ps have been identified over the years and they remain a scarce and exciting error, sought-after by collectors of very rare UK coins.”See also
