敦促英国人在钱包和硬币罐中搜寻价值约 100 倍面值的稀有 50 便士硬币

如果您找到这枚 2017 年的硬币，那么您可能很幸运 - 但​​是，它必须有一个特定的错误

Brits are being urged to scour their wallets and coin jars for a rare 50 pence piece that could be worth around 100 times its face value.

英国人被敦促翻遍钱包和硬币罐，寻找一枚罕见的 50 便士硬币，其价值可能是其面值的 100 倍左右。

If you find this coin from 2017 you could be in luck - however, it must feature a specific error.

如果您找到这枚 2017 年的硬币，那么您可能很幸运 - 但​​它必须有一个特定的错误。

According to an expert, the Benjamin Bunny coin could fetch up to £50 if you find this certain mistake.

据专家称，如果你发现这个错误，本杰明兔子硬币可能会涨到 50 英镑。

The coin is one of four pieces that were released in 2017 to celebrate the life and works of famed author Beatrix Potter.

这枚硬币是 2017 年发行的四枚硬币之一，旨在纪念著名作家碧翠丝·波特 (Beatrix Potter) 的一生和作品。

This collection also included coins featuring Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten and Jeremy Fisher.

该系列还包括以彼得兔、小猫汤姆和杰里米·费舍尔为主角的硬币。

But what makes the Benjamin Bunny coin so special is that a batch of them were minted with an unusual rotation error.

但本杰明兔子硬币如此特别的原因在于，其中一批铸造的硬币存在不寻常的旋转错误。

This gives it the appearance that Queen Elizabeth II is looking the wrong way.

这让人觉得英国女王伊丽莎白二世看错了方向。

Speaking on social media platform TikTok, an expert known as the Coin Collector UK, explained more to his more than 160,000 followers.

英国硬币收藏家专家在社交媒体平台 TikTok 上发表讲话，向他的 16 万多名粉丝解释了更多内容。

He said: “Sell this 50p for £40 to £50 if you find the rare error version of the Benjamin Bunny in your change.”

他说：“如果你在零钱中发现罕见错误版本的本杰明兔子，就把这 50 便士卖到 40 到 50 英镑。”

He described the error in question to look for.

他描述了要查找的相关错误。

“You can see on the regular version when we flip the coin around, the Queen is looking directly to the right,” he continued.

“当我们翻转硬币时，你可以在普通版本中看到，女王直接看着右边，”他继续说道。

“However, in 2017 the Royal Mint did end up producing some errors.

“然而，2017 年皇家造币厂最终确实出现了一些错误。

“You can see where we flip this one round, she’s looking upright. This is called a rotation error, they’re quite uncommon.”

“你可以看到我们翻转这一轮的位置，她看起来是直立的。这称为旋转错误，这种情况相当罕见。”

Last year The Sun reported how an example of this coin sold for £40 - 80 times its 50p value.

去年，《太阳报》报道了一枚硬币的售价为 40 英镑至 50 便士价值的 80 倍。

And in 2021 another of the pieces sold for a staggering £255 on eBay.

2021 年，另一件作品在 eBay 上以 255 英镑的惊人价格售出。

The expert added: “I’ve only ever found this one on the Benjamin Bunny, you don’t come across these too often on your 50ps. It’s usually the £2 coins that have rotation errors.

这位专家补充道：“我只在本杰明兔子上发现过这个，你在 50ps 上不会经常遇到这些。通常是 2 英镑硬币有旋转错误。

“But it’s always worth a check. If you flip it round from the top and the Queen’s looking upright or in any other direction other than to the right then it’s worth about £40 to £50.”

“但这总是值得检查的。如果你从顶部翻转它，女王看起来是直立的，或者是从右侧以外的任何其他方向看的，那么它的价值约为 40 至 50 英镑。”

But he emphasised that the regular version of this coin is only worth 50p.

但他强调，这枚硬币的普通版只值50便士。

He said: “They don’t come up for sale too often, but this seems to be the average selling price on eBay.

他说：“它们出售的频率并不高，但这似乎是 eBay 上的平均售价。

"The regular version of the coin without the error is unfortunately only worth 50p as they minted 25 million of these upon release.”

“不幸的是，没有错误的普通版硬币只值 50 便士，因为他们在发行时铸造了 2500 万枚。”
