查理三世国王大西洋鲑鱼 50 便士引发了一场小型竞购战

A rare King Charles III 50p coin has sold for almost £200 in an online auction after sparking a bidding war among coin collectors.

一枚罕见的查理三世国王 50 便士硬币在网上拍卖中以近 200 英镑的价格在硬币收藏家中引发了竞价战。

The coin, which features the Atlantic salmon, was released into circulation last year and is the rarest currently in the UK, according to the Royal Mint.

据英国皇家造币厂称，这枚以大西洋鲑鱼为主题的硬币于去年投入流通，是目前英国最稀有的硬币。

Just 200,000 copies of the coin were minted, knocking the “highly collectable” 2009 Kew Gardens 50p off the top spot for the first time in 15 years, the official maker of British coins said.

英国官方硬币制造商表示，该硬币仅铸造了 20 万枚，15 年来首次将“极具收藏价值”的 2009 年英国皇家植物园 50 便士从冠军宝座上挤了下来。

Last year marked the final chapter of Charles’ transition onto UK coins, with coins commemorating the coronation and new designs across all denominations from the 1p to £2.

去年标志着查尔斯向英国硬币转型的最后篇章，纪念加冕的硬币和从 1 便士到 2 英镑的所有面额的新设计。

Each design highlights Charles’ “passion for conservation and the natural world”, featuring wildlife such as the hazel dormouse and bees, the Royal Mint said.

皇家造币厂表示，每项设计都凸显了查尔斯“对保护和自然世界的热情”，以榛睡鼠和蜜蜂等野生动物为特色。

Described by the Royal Mint as “the nation’s most collectable coin”, the 50p has seen over 100 different designs appear on its reverse since its introduction.

50 便士被英国皇家造币厂称为“全国最具收藏价值的硬币”，自推出以来，其背面已出现 100 多种不同的设计。

Out of the 10 rarest 50ps in circulation, six are related to the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, with Peter Rabbit and Flopsy Bunny coins from 2018 both also making the list.

在流通的 10 枚最稀有的 50 便士硬币中，有 6 枚与 2012 年伦敦奥运会和残奥会相关，2018 年的彼得兔和弗洛普西兔子硬币也榜上有名。

Five Incredibly Rare and Valuable British Coins

五枚极其稀有且珍贵的英国硬币

The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, largely due to its size and the vast number of collectable designs which have appeared on its heptagonal canvas.

这枚 50 便士硬币已成为英国最有价值和最收藏的硬币，很大程度上是因为它的尺寸和七边形画布上出现的大量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。
