Coin enthusiasts are being urged to check their loose change for specific 50p coins that could be worth up to £80.

硬币爱好者被敦促检查他们的零钱，寻找特定的 50 便士硬币，这些硬币的价值可能高达 80 英镑。

These particular coins are sought after by collectors due to their low mintage numbers, making them a rare find.

这些特殊的硬币因其发行量低而受到收藏家的追捧，使其成为罕见的发现。

The Coin Collector UK, sharing his knowledge on TikTok, pointed out the specific 50p pieces to look out for.

英国硬币收藏家在 TikTok 上分享了他的知识，指出了需要注意的具体 50 便士硬币。

He said: "You can get up to £80 pound each for these shield 50ps that you can find in your change."

他说：“你可以在找零时找到这些 50 便士的盾牌，每张最多可获得 80 英镑。”

The shield design was introduced in 2008 and forms part of a larger motif that spans across the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, and 20p coins, which together create the image of a shield.

盾牌设计于 2008 年推出，是涵盖 1p、2p、5p、10p 和 20p 硬币的更大图案的一部分，这些硬币共同创造了盾牌的形象。

This idea came from a Royal Mint competition that attracted around 4,000 entries.

这个想法来自皇家造币厂的一场竞赛，该竞赛吸引了大约 4,000 名参赛者。

The value of a shield 50p can vary significantly depending on its minting year; while some are simply worth their face value, others are highly valued.

盾牌 50 便士的价值可能会根据其铸造年份的不同而有很大差异；有些只是物有所值，而另一些则价值很高。

This difference is often because certain shield 50p coins were not released into general circulation but were instead only available in annual coin sets, which when opened, might release these coins to the public.

这种差异通常是因为某些盾牌 50 便士硬币没有进入一般流通，而是仅以年度硬币套装形式提供，打开后可能会将这些硬币释放给公众。

Change Checker experts shed light on the matter, stating: "Despite the royal shield being the definitive UK 50p design for a 14 year period, not every year saw them entering circulation.

Change Checker 专家对此事进行了阐述，他们表示：“尽管皇家盾牌在 14 年来一直是英国 50 便士的最终设计，但并不是每年都会看到它们进入流通。

"Royal shield 50ps dated 2009, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2018 and 2021 are particularly special, because they were never intended for general circulation."

“2009 年、2010 年、2011 年、2016 年、2018 年和 2021 年的皇家盾牌 50ps 特别特别，因为它们从未打算广泛流通。”

In his video, the coin collector highlighted that the ones to look out for are from 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2016, with the latter being the most valuable.

这位钱币收藏家在视频中强调，值得关注的是 2009 年、2010 年、2011 年和 2016 年的硬币，其中后者最有价值。

He explained: "So we have 2009, 2010, and 2011.

他解释道：“所以我们有 2009 年、2010 年和 2011 年。

"These all sell for between £30 and £40 each. I've been lucky enough to find one 2009, two 2010s and also two 2011s as well in my change."

“每瓶售价在 30 到 40 英镑之间。我很幸运，在零钱里找到了一支 2009 年、两支 2010 年以及两支 2011 年。”

However, he stressed that the 2016 is the one you really want.

不过，他强调2016年才是你真正想要的。

He said: "Another date to be looking out for, I don't actually have this one to hand, is the year 2016.

他说：“另一个值得关注的日期是 2016 年，但我实际上手头没有这个日期。

"So when you flip the coin it'll say 2016 the date up there, that's actually the most valuable. It goes for about £60 to £80."

“所以当你抛硬币时，上面会写着 2016 年的日期，这实际上是最有价值的。它的价格约为 60 至 80 英镑。”

At the time of reporting, a 2016 shield 50p coin was listed on eBay for £135, while another one was spotted on the auction site for £78.95.

截至本报告发布时，一枚 2016 年盾牌 50 便士硬币在 eBay 上的售价为 135 英镑，而另一枚在拍卖网站上的售价为 78.95 英镑。

He further added: "Another one I've been lucky enough to find is a 2018 shield.

他进一步补充道：“我很幸运找到的另一件是 2018 年的盾牌。

"This one again about £30, £40 maybe even £45.

“这又是 30 英镑、40 英镑甚至 45 英镑。

"And the most recent one to be looking out for is the year 2021 currently selling for about £20 to £25.

“最近值得关注的是 2021 年款，目前售价约为 20 至 25 英镑。

"It's also worth mentioning in the 2017 shield. Unlike the others this one did go in circulation, But it's the lowest mintage shield, only 1.8 million made, and this goes for about £1 to £2."

“2017 年的盾牌也值得一提。与其他盾牌不同，这枚盾牌确实流通了，但它是铸币量最低的盾牌，仅制作了 180 万枚，售价约为 1 至 2 英镑。”

The most recent Royal shield 50p coin issued for circulation was in 2022.

最近发行的皇家盾牌 50 便士硬币是在 2022 年发行的。
