Ulta-Rare 50p硬幣以模糊的奧運會游泳者的臉為特色，其價值在eBay上的價值8,000倍

由於設計異常錯誤，因此50p的價格高達4,000英鎊。

An incredibly rare 50p coin has sold on eBay for a staggering 8000 times its usual value - due to an "extra special" detail.

由於“額外的特殊”細節，這是一款極為稀有的50p硬幣在eBay上以驚人的8000倍售出的8000倍。

The coin, which was released in 2011 in anticipation for the London Olympics, features a swimmer submerged in water on its tails side.

這款硬幣於2011年因對倫敦奧運會的期待而發行，該硬幣的特徵是一名游泳者淹沒在其尾部一側的水中。

However, unlike other versions, the swimmer's face is obscured by the ripples in the water.

但是，與其他版本不同，游泳者的臉被水中的漣漪遮住了。

Shortly after the manufacturing process began, the error was corrected - meaning there are only a few hundred in circulation.

製造過程開始後不久，糾正了錯誤 - 這意味著只有幾百個循環。

The coin attracted a fierce bidding war, with 28 enthusiasts vying for the item.

硬幣吸引了激烈的競標戰爭，有28名發燒友爭奪該物品。

It is not the first example of its kind to sell for thousands - with another fetching an impressive £1,500 last year.

這並不是以數千美元出售的第一個例子 - 去年另一個售價令人印象深刻的1,500英鎊。

Kimberly Day, coin expert from RWB, said at the time: "Only a few hundred examples with this rare design variation are believed to have been released.

RWB的硬幣專家Kimberly Day當時表示：“據信，只有幾百個具有這種罕見的設計變化的例子已經發布。

"We're delighted that this coin has raised such a sum, it's a fair price for such a rare coin and we believe it's value will only increase over time."

“我們很高興這種硬幣籌集瞭如此巨大的價格，這是如此稀有的硬幣的合理價格，我們認為它的價值只會隨著時間而增加。”

29 other coins were released for the Games, featuring various sports - from gymnastics to tennis to football to triathlon.

其他29枚硬幣是為奧運會而發行的，其中包括各種運動 - 從體操，網球再到足球再到鐵人三項。

The football version coin is the rarest out of the set, according to The Royal Mint - with just 1,125,500 minted.

根據皇家造幣廠的說法，足球版硬幣是場景中最稀有的幣 - 只有1,125,500鑄幣。

Outside the Olympic range, the rarest 50p is the Kew Gardens, of which there are only 200,000 out there.

在奧林匹克範圍之外，最稀有的50便士是京東花園，那裡只有200,000。

The Kew Gardens piece was minted a few years earlier than the Olympic collection and has been known to sell for up to a whopping £895 on eBay in the past.

Kew Gardens作品比奧運會提前幾年鑄造，並且眾所周知，過去在eBay上售出的售價高達895英鎊。

How to spot a rare coin

如何發現稀有硬幣

A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount were struck, or a manufacturing error occurred when they were being made.

如果犯有有限的數量，則通常將硬幣歸類為罕見，或者在製造錯誤時發生了錯誤。

A low mintage figure, which is set by The Royal Mint, relates to how many of a coin were made.

由皇家造幣廠設定的低薄荷型人物與製造了多少硬幣有關。

Generally, the lower that figure, the more buyers are willing to pay for it, although this isn't always the case.

通常，該數字越低，買家願意為此付出的代價越多，儘管情況並非總是如此。

You can find out what coins are rare and how they look on The Royal Mint's website.

您可以找出罕見的硬幣以及它們在皇家造幣廠網站上的外觀。

The Change Checker website has scarcity indices too - these tell you how many of a particular coin were minted.

When it comes to error coins, how much you'll get for them varies from piece to piece.

How to sell a rare coin

You can sell a rare coin on eBay, Facebook, or in an auction.

您可以在eBay，Facebook或拍賣中出售稀有硬幣。

If you're selling on Facebook, there are risks attached.

Ensure it's a public meeting spot that's in a well-lit area and if you can, avoid using payment links.
