一枚罕见的没有日期的 20 便士硬币在 2008 年发生印刷事故后被皇家伍顿巴西特的不列颠尼亚硬币公司称为“零钱收藏的圣杯”。

A small number of Twenty Pence pieces were struck without the year in November 2008 following a printing error.

2008 年 11 月，由于印刷错误，少数二十便士硬币没有年份。

The Royal Mint had 136 million Twenty Pence printed that year and, according to The Britannia Coin Company of Royal Wootton Bassett, only around 250,000 coins were minted with this unique error.

皇家造币厂当年印制了 1.36 亿枚二十便士，根据皇家伍顿巴西特的不列颠尼亚硬币公司的统计，只有大约 25 万枚硬币出现了这种独特的错误。

One seller in Stourport made a huge profit after they sold their mishap coin for £69.99 - almost 350x its face value.

The buyer also had free three-day postage.

The Britannia Coin Company of Royal Wootton Bassett, a coin-selling website, sells their 20p coins for £90.

Royal Wootton Bassett 旗下的 Britannia Coin Company 是一家硬币销售网站，其 20 便士硬币的售价为 90 英镑。

The site explains: "The issue occurred because an old obverse ('heads') design was used with the new royal shield of arms reverse, introduced in this year.

该网站解释说：“出现这个问题是因为今年推出的新皇家盾徽背面使用了旧的正面（‘头像’）设计。

"The previous Tudor rose design had the date on either side of the crown. When this was replaced with the shield, the date was moved to the other side.

“以前的都铎玫瑰设计在表冠的两侧都有日期。当它被盾形取代时，日期被移到了另一侧。

"It was moved on most 20ps but not these ones, which bear no date at all.

“大多数 20 秒的照片都被移动了，但这些没有，因为根本没有日期。

"These coins have been circulated, so they will show the signs of wear typical of change that has been in wallets and cash registers.

“这些硬币已经流通，因此它们会出现钱包和收银机中常见的零钱磨损迹象。

"The only difference is this unusual error."

“唯一的区别是这个不寻常的错误。”
