这是一枚 1 欧元的硬币，在拍卖会上最高可达 700 欧元

如果钱币收藏家拥有一枚令人垂涎的 1 欧元样本，那么他们可能会很幸运，其价格最高可达 700 欧元

Coin collectors could be in luck if they have in their possession a coveted 1-euro specimen, whose price can fetch up to 700 euros. It is a coin from the last century, and its exclusivity lies in its age. The year was 1999 and the dreaded 'Y2K bug' was the main concern at the time, as well as the impending change to the Euro across much of the EU.

如果钱币收藏家拥有一枚令人垂涎的 1 欧元样本，那么他们可能会很幸运，而其价格最高可达 700 欧元。这是一枚上世纪的硬币，其独特之处在于它的年代。那是 1999 年，可怕的“千年虫”是当时主要关注的问题，而且欧盟大部分地区即将对欧元进行调整。

In Spain the change was gradual and the euro coexisted with the peseta for more than a year, until 1 January 2022, when it became the only valid currency. Three years earlier, in 1999, the first euros began to be minted, allowing the public to get used to them.

在西班牙，这种变化是渐进的，欧元与比塞塔共存了一年多，直到 2022 年 1 月 1 日，欧元成为唯一有效货币。三年前，即 1999 年，第一批欧元开始铸造，让公众习惯了它们。

This exclusive coin dates back to 1999 and sells for around 700 euros on specialised sites as only a few were produced. On the front it is an ordinary coin. Its '1 euro' symbol and its gold and silver colours make it look like any other. However, it is the other side that justifies its high value.

这种独特的硬币可以追溯到 1999 年，由于产量很少，在专门网站上的售价约为 700 欧元。正面是一枚普通硬币。它的“1 欧元”符号以及金色和银色使它看起来与其他任何东西都一样。然而，另一方面也证明了其高价值。

On the back, the coin, minted in France, shows the French motto 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité', together with the initials of the French Republic (RF) and a tree with many branches and leaves. The detail that boosts the value of the coin is precisely the year of minting: the 1999 at the bottom.

这枚法国铸造的硬币背面印有法国座右铭“自由、平等、博爱”，以及法兰西共和国 (RF) 的首字母和一棵长有许多枝叶的树。提升硬币价值的细节正是铸造年份：底部的 1999 年。

There are many other valuable coins that are resold on the market. Five-peseta coins, also known as "duros", are a type of coin minted from the end of the 19th century until the introduction of the euro. According to data from the Banco de España, at the time of the changeover from pesetas to euros, not all the old coins were updated. In fact, it is estimated that 266,051 million of these coins remained unchanged.

还有许多其他有价值的硬币在市场上转售。五比塞塔硬币，也称为“杜罗”，是 19 世纪末至欧元问世期间铸造的一种硬币。根据西班牙银行的数据，在从比塞塔转换为欧元时，并非所有旧硬币都被更新。事实上，据估计，其中 2660.51 亿枚硬币保持不变。

It is therefore not unusual to find peseta coins still hanging around in many Spanish households. As the peseta was withdrawn from circulation it started to increase in value among coin collectors.

因此，在许多西班牙家庭中仍然挂着比塞塔硬币并不罕见。随着比塞塔退出流通，它在硬币收藏家中的价值开始增加。

Certain specimens have managed to fetch thousands of euros on the market. According to Rafael Sánchez, a coin expert, the five peseta coins, for example, have a high value. This is because they are difficult to find or are part of a well-known collection.

某些标本已在市场上卖到了数千欧元。据硬币专家拉斐尔·桑切斯（Rafael Sánchez）介绍，例如，五枚比塞塔硬币就具有很高的价值。这是因为它们很难找到或者属于知名收藏品的一部分。

As for the conditions that characterise a coin of this type as valuable, Sánchez explains that it must be in excellent condition. However, in some cases, pieces with minting errors or rarities can be even more valuable.

至于使此类硬币具有价值的条件，桑切斯解释说，它必须处于良好的状态。然而，在某些情况下，有铸币错误或稀有的作品可能更有价值。
