According to him, less than a quarter of a million of these particular coins were produced out of the 136,360,000 minted in 2008, caused by an older heads side design being accidentally paired with a brand-new tails side design, leading to the date being omitted entirely.

据他说，这些特定硬币中只有不到四分之一是在2008年的136,360,000枚铸造中生产的，这是由于较旧的头部设计与全新的尾巴侧设计偶然搭配，导致日期省略了完全。

The coin collector highlighted just how sought-after these rarities are, explaining: "Considered by many as one of the holy grails of UK change collecting, the undated 20p is always at the top of any coin collector's wish list," he claimed, reports the Mirror.

硬币收藏家强调了这些稀有性之后的追求，并解释说：“许多人认为是英国变革收集的圣杯之一，未注明日期的20p始终是任何硬币收藏家的愿望清单的顶部，”他声称，他声称，”镜子。
