This 50p coin, featuring King Charles III and an Atlantic salmon, is worth around £100 to collectors and was only released in 2023.

這枚 50 便士的硬幣上刻有查理三世國王和一條大西洋鮭魚，對收藏家來說價值約 100 英鎊，於 2023 年才發行。

Coin expert The Coin Seeker shared more details in a video on social media platform TikTok, urging viewers to "check your change".

硬幣專家 The Coin Seeker 在社交媒體平台 TikTok 上的影片中分享了更多細節，敦促觀眾「檢查你的零錢」。

He said: "The rarest coin in the UK. This is the 2023 King Charles salmon and this is in immaculate condition."

他說：“英國最稀有的硬幣。這是 2023 年查爾斯王鮭魚，狀態完美。”

What sets this coin apart is its limited production. "This is one of 200,000, and this has come straight from a sealed bag," he added.

這枚硬幣的與眾不同之處在於其產量有限。 「這是 20 萬個中的一個，而且是直接從密封袋中取出的，」他補充道。

"Look at it. Absolutely insane. They sell for over £100 with only 200 000 minted."

“看看它。太瘋狂了。它們的售價超過 100 英鎊，但只鑄造了 20 萬枚。”

He further advised: "You could still possibly find one of these in your change. So make sure you check your change in case you find one of these bad boys."

他進一步建議：“你仍然有可能在你的零錢中找到其中一個。所以一定要檢查你的零錢，以防發現這些壞孩子之一。”

As reported by Lancashire Live, the Royal Mint website confirms that the salmon coin is currently the rarest 50p in circulation, surpassing the 2009 Kew Gardens coin, of which 210,000 were minted.

根據 Lancashire Live 報道，皇家造幣廠網站證實，鮭魚硬幣是目前流通中最稀有的 50 便士硬幣，超過了 2009 年邱園硬幣，當時鑄造了 21 萬枚。

Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint, said: "The releasing of mintage figures is an eagerly anticipated event among the coin collecting community – and this year is particularly exciting as we reveal the Atlantic Salmon as the rarest 50p in circulation."

英國皇家造幣廠紀念幣總監麗貝卡·摩根(Rebecca Morgan) 表示：「發行量數據的發布是硬幣收藏界熱切期待的事件，今年尤其令人興奮，因為我們公佈了流通中最稀有的50便士大西洋鮭魚版。

She added that for the first time in 15 years, the Kew Gardens 50p has been dethroned from its position as the rarest coin by the Atlantic Salmon 50p. Morgan also highlighted the significance of 2023 for collectors, saying: "2023 marked pivotal changes for the nation’s coinage, including the introduction of coins celebrating King Charles III’s coronation entering circulation.

她補充說，英國皇家植物園 50 便士 15 年來首次被大西洋鮭魚 50 便士取代了最稀有硬幣的寶座。摩根也強調了 2023 年對收藏家的重要性，他表示：「2023 年標誌著國家硬幣的關鍵變化，包括慶祝國王查理三世加冕的硬幣進入流通。

"Finding these special designs, like the Atlantic Salmon, in your change is a win for all collectors."

“在你的改變中找到這些特殊的設計，比如大西洋鮭魚，對所有收藏家來說都是一個勝利。”

On December 30, it was reported that three Atlantic salmon coins fetched varying amounts on eBay, with one selling for £102, another for £110.79, and a third for £98.99.
