However, the Royal Mint switched it so that the date would now be next to the Queen’s head.

It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

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，而铸造（每种设计的硬币数量）是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.

与设计一起，硬币的其他方面增加了价值的条件以及其设计是否有错误。

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.

出售的方式也可以决定硬币的价值 - 而一些硬币收藏家将在eBay或拍卖会上竞标大量资金，而其他硬币则通过通过硬币经销商出售而选择了更多可靠的估值。
