What makes a coin valuable?

是什么让硬币有价值？

The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas.

这枚 50 便士硬币已成为英国最有价值、最具收藏价值的硬币，其七边形画布上出现了许多具有收藏价值的设计。

Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

其 27.5 毫米的直径使其成为英国硬币中最大的，并为装饰图片留出了空间。英国过去50年历史上经常用它来庆祝重大事件。

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors.

最稀有的硬币往往具有最大的价值，其发行量（每种设计的硬币数量）是对收藏家的基本吸引力。

Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

除了设计之外，硬币增值的其他方面还包括硬币的状况以及设计是否存在错误。

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on ebay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.

出售方式也可以决定硬币的价值 - 虽然一些硬币收藏家会在 eBay 或拍卖会上出价大量资金，但其他人则选择通过硬币经销商出售来获得更稳健的估值。
