兩張“威利·旺卡金票”英國脫歐50p硬幣，可能值得一提

六年前，皇家造幣廠創造了一百萬個特別版的英國脫歐50p硬幣。但是，由於製造錯誤，硬幣從未看到一天的光明，而是

Six years ago, the Royal Mint created one million special edition Brexit 50p coins to mark Britain's exit from the EU. However, due to a manufacturing error, the coins were never released into circulation and were instead approved to be melted down and destroyed.

六年前，皇家造幣廠創建了一百萬個特別版的英國脫歐50p硬幣，以紀念英國從歐盟退出。但是，由於製造錯誤，硬幣從未被釋放到循環中，而是被批准被融化並銷毀。

But in a surprising discovery, two of these commemorative coins have survived and have the potential to be worth a small fortune.

但是，在一個令人驚訝的發現中，其中兩個紀念硬幣已經倖存下來，並有可能一筆巨大的財富。

It is not yet known if any more managed to escape the Royal Mint's hands, with coin collectors on the hunt to unearth what has been described as 'Willy Wonka's golden ticket' by experts.

目前尚不清楚是否有更多的人能夠逃脫皇家造幣廠的手，而硬幣收藏家正在狩獵，以發掘專家所說的“威利·旺卡（Willy Wonka）的金票”。

The coins, which also include the phrase 'peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations', could be worth tens of thousands of pounds.

硬幣也包括“與各國的和平，繁榮與友誼”一詞，可能價值數万英鎊。

They were originally commissioned by the Royal Mint following a campaign by the Telegraph newspaper as a form of commemorating Britain's exit from the EU.

他們最初是由皇家造幣廠委託電報報紙進行了一場競選活動的形式，是紀念英國退出歐盟的一種形式。

The Royal Mint, the nation's official coin maker, regularly marks important national events with the creation of commemorative coins and has released 30 special 50p coins since 2000, not including 29 variants of a 2012 Olympic coin.

該國官方硬幣製造商皇家造幣廠定期通過創建紀念硬幣來標記重要的國家活動，並自2000年以來發布了30枚特殊的50p硬幣，不包括2012年奧運會硬幣的29種變體。

A spokesperson for the Royal Mint has stated that they have so far been unable to confirm the 'validity' of the coins.

皇家造幣廠的發言人表示，到目前為止，他們無法確認硬幣的“有效性”。

Should they in fact be the real deal though, experts believe the Brexit coins could fetch in excess of £42,000 at auction.

但是，如果他們實際上是真正的交易，專家認為英國脫歐硬幣可以在拍賣會上以超過42,000英鎊的價格獲取。

So, how do the non-coin experts amongst us spot the special Brexit coins? The answer is a simple one.

那麼，我們中間的非科因專家如何發現特殊的英國脫歐硬幣？答案很簡單。

The one million coins created back in 2019 were all minted with the incorrect commemorative date.

2019年創建的一百萬個硬幣都以不正確的紀念日期鑄造。

Originally, Brexit had been due to be officially ratified at the end October 2019. However, on October 28, just days before it went ahead, it was revealed at the eleventh hour that the UK's exit from the EU would be delayed by a number of months.

最初，英國脫歐將在2019年10月末正式批准。但是，在10月28日，就在前進的幾天前，在第11個小時透露，英國退出歐盟的退出將被推遲到很多。月份。

A new coin was instead commissioned and entered circulation with a stamped date of January 2020 when Brexit was ultimately followed through with.

相反，一枚新硬幣被委託並進入流通，並在2020年1月的蓋章日期最終遵循。

Speaking to the Telegraph, coin researcher Gregory Edmund described the prospect of finding another incorrectly dated Brexit coin as a 'Charlie Bucket moment discovering the numismatic ticket'.

硬幣研究員格雷戈里·埃德蒙（Gregory Edmund）在談到電報時描述了一個前景，即發現另一個錯誤日期的英國脫歐硬幣是“查理桶的時刻發現貨幣票”。

Explaining just how a 50p coin could be so valuable, Mr Edmund said:

埃德蒙先生說：說明50p硬幣是如何如此有價值的：

'Given the extremely stringent security at the Royal Mint, to suddenly have two examples survive, and be available for study at the same time, is a unique opportunity'.

``鑑於皇家造幣廠的安全性極為嚴格，突然有兩個例子倖存下來，並且可以同時進行研究，這是一個獨特的機會”。

Mr Edmund has also now established a dedicated hotline through Spink & Son auction house for anyone who believes they have found one of the unique coins, which can be reached by emailing brexit50p@spink.com.

埃德蒙（Edmund）先生現在還通過Spink＆Son Auction House建立了一個專門的熱線，為任何認為他們找到了一枚獨特的硬幣之一，可以通過發送電子郵件至Brexit50p@spink.com來達到。

Prior to the discovery of the Brexit coins, one of the nation's rarest commemorative 50ps were the version which depicted Kew's Royal Botanical Gardens.

在發現英國脫歐硬幣之前，該國最稀有的紀念50ps之一是描繪了凱沃（Kew）的皇家植物園的版本。

With over 200,000 in circulation, they can earn anywhere up to £300 online.

有超過200,000的流通，他們可以在線賺取高達300英鎊的賺錢。
