tiktok用户@CoinCollectingWizard已在2P硬币上分享了您应该注意的两个错误，这可能会使您一笔小的财富...

Silver 2p coin

银2p硬币

The 2p coin was originally minted from bronze, but since 1992 it's been made with copper-plated steel.

2p硬币最初是用青铜铸造的，但是自1992年以来，它是用铜镀钢制成的。

That gives it its distinctive copper look.

这使它具有独特的铜外观。

However a small number of 2ps have accidentally been minted on the same base as the silver 10p coin. They are therefore silver as they have been manufactured with nickel-plated steel.

然而，少数2P的意外在与银10p硬币相同的基础上铸造了。因此，它们是用镀镍钢制造的，因为它们是银色的。

If you find a silver 2p coin, you're in luck as it could sell for more than £1,000.

如果您找到一枚银色2P硬币，那您很幸运，因为它的售价超过1,000英镑。

Back in 2016, a silver 2p sold for £1,350 - which is 67,500 times its face value. It was nearly thrown away as a presumed fake after it was discovered in a Poppy Appeal tin.

早在2016年，一辆银2便士的售价为1,350英镑 - 是其面值的67,500倍。在罂粟呼吁罐中发现它后，它几乎被假定的假假假扔掉了。

1983 'New Pence' 2p coin

1983年“新便士” 2P硬币

Another rare 2p is the 1983 'New Pence' coin.

另一个罕见的2p是1983年的“新便士”硬币。

Between 1971 and 1981, all 2p coins were struck with the words 'New Pence' on their reverse. Since 1982 this inscription has been replaced with the word 'Two Pence'.

在1971年至1981年之间，所有2p硬币都被它们的反面击中了“新便士”一词。自1982年以来，此铭文已被“两便士”一词取代。

But in 1983 a small number of coins were mistakenly struck with the wording 'New Pence' on the reverse.

但是在1983年，少数硬币被误以为“新便士”。

The Royal Mint says these coins were "produced to brilliant uncirculated quality", meaning they are a standard higher than most coins in circulation. They were also included in special sets intended for collectors.

皇家造币厂说，这些硬币“生产出出色的未流通品质”，这意味着它们比大多数循环中的硬币都高。它们也被包括在用于收藏家的特殊套装中。

Since there aren't many of these error coins in circulation, collectors will want to get their hands on them.

由于流通中没有太多这些错误硬币，因此收藏家将希望掌握它们。

What other rare coins should you look out for?

您还应该注意其他哪些稀有硬币？

One of the most collectable coins is the 50p.

最可收集的硬币之一是50便士。

Among the most valuable of these is the Kew Gardens design, which was created in 2009. Only 210,000 of these special coins were made.

其中最有价值的是Kew Gardens Design，该设计于2009年创建。其中只有21万个特殊的硬币。

According to The Royal Mint, the Kew Gardens 50p has become one of the most talked about collectors coins in the last 15 years.

根据皇家造币厂的说法，在过去的15年中，Kew Gardens 50便士已成为最受关注的收藏家硬币之一。

One recently sold on eBay for £157.

Other 50ps to look out for are the Olympic designs.

其他值得注意的50ps是奥林匹克设计。

These were released by the Royal Mint in 2011 to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

这些是由皇家造币厂于2011年发布的，以庆祝2012年伦敦奥运会和残奥会。
