在一名男子口袋中发现的 25 便士硬币,形状与普通 20 便士相似,但有一个盾牌和一个带有“实验硬币”字样的主权球
A 25p coin that is no longer accepted in shops has sold for almost 8,000 times its face value.
商店不再接受的 25 便士硬币的售价几乎是其面值的 8,000 倍。
The coin was found in one man's pocket and looks like an ordinary 20p in terms of shape, but features a shield and a Sovereign's Orb with the word 'experimental coin'.
这枚硬币是在一名男子的口袋中发现的,形状看起来与普通的 20 便士相似,但有一个盾牌和一个带有“实验硬币”字样的主权球。
This is because the coin was only produced very briefly as a short-lived experiment.
这是因为该硬币只是作为短暂的实验而生产的。
It is thought to have been one of only 50 made by skilled craftsmen at the UK’s Royal Mint before the denomination was officially released into circulation in 1982.
在该面值于 1982 年正式发行之前,它被认为是英国皇家造币厂仅有的 50 枚由熟练工匠制作的硬币之一。
The coin sold for a whopping £1,700 at RWB Auctions in Wiltshire - which is £1,000 more than experts predicted.
这枚硬币在威尔特郡的 RWB 拍卖会上以 1,700 英镑的高价售出,比专家预测的价格高出 1,000 英镑。
The man who found the rare coin is not a coin collector and had just been given it in some change.
发现这枚稀有硬币的人并不是硬币收藏家,他只是以零钱的形式得到了它。
Unaware of its value, he left it in a drawer for several years.
他不知道它的价值,就把它放在抽屉里好几年了。
Coin experts call experimental coins like this a ‘trial piece’ and at the time it was made, authorities had not yet decided if it would be worth 20p or 25p.
硬币专家称这种实验性硬币为“试制品”,在制作它时,当局尚未决定它的价值是 20 便士还是 25 便士。
“We’re thrilled that this rare coin fetched such a high price," said Jon White, founder of RWB Auctions.
RWB Auctions 创始人乔恩·怀特 (Jon White) 表示:“我们很高兴这枚稀有硬币能拍出如此高的价格。”
"It shows how vibrant the coin-collecting market is and how sought after such an experimental coin can be.
“它显示了钱币收藏市场的活跃程度以及这种实验性硬币的受欢迎程度。
"Keep an eye on your change as a coin like this can easily be mistaken for a ‘normal’ 20p coin."
“请留意你的零钱,因为这样的硬币很容易被误认为是‘普通’的 20 便士硬币。”
