十進制前時代的稀有 1 便士硬幣，如果狀況良好，售價可能超過 160 英鎊

一位用戶名為「coincollectingwizard」的 TikTok 用戶重點介紹了一枚來自前十進制時代的罕見 1 便士硬幣，如果狀況良好，其售價可能超過 160 英鎊。

A rare 1p coin from the pre-decimal era could fetch more than £160 if it's in good condition, a TikTok user has revealed. The coin in question is an 1894 penny, notable for being the last of its kind to showcase Queen Victoria's iconic hairstyle.

一位 TikTok 用戶透露，一枚十進制前時代的稀有 1 便士硬幣，如果狀況良好，可以賣到 160 英鎊以上。這枚硬幣是 1894 年的便士，因其是最後一枚展示維多利亞女王標誌性髮型的硬幣而聞名。

That design lends it the nickname "bun coin". In the pre-decimal system of currency consisting of pounds, shillings, and pence and employed until February 1971, this coin stood out due to its Helmed Britannia depiction on one side, accompanied by the phrase "one penny" and the date.

這種設計使它獲得了“麵包幣”的綽號。在 1971 年 2 月之前由英鎊、先令和便士組成的前十進制貨幣體系中，這枚硬幣因其一側的頭盔不列顛尼亞圖案而脫穎而出，並附有短語“一便士”和日期。

Speaking on the matter, he disclosed: "The 1894 penny in extra-fine condition easily sells for over £160, so keep an eye out for this very old penny." The collector also signalled that hunting for it among leftover change might not yield results given the coin's age.

在談到此事時，他透露：“這枚品相極好的 1894 年便士很容易就能賣到 160 英鎊以上，所以請留意這枚非常古老的便士。”這位收藏家還表示，考慮到這枚硬幣的年代，在剩下的零錢中尋找它可能不會有結果。

Meanwhile, a more accessible valuable coin could be the Kew Gardens 50p - a desirable addition to any collection released in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens' opening, reports the Mirror. The coin features the gardens' renowned Chinese Pagoda being encircled by a leafy climber. The rarity of this particular 50p stems from there being only 210,000 in circulation.
