A rare Royal Arms £1 coin, which was first introduced into circulation in 1983, is being sold on eBay for £2,500.

一枚罕见的 Royal Arms 1 英镑硬币于 1983 年首次投入流通，目前在 eBay 上的售价为 2,500 英镑。

The coin, which is being sold by a Stroud seller, can either be collected in person or delivered for a postage cost of £7.95.

这枚硬币由斯特劳德卖家出售，可以亲自领取，也可以邮寄，邮费为 7.95 英镑。

However, no returns of the coin will be accepted.

但是，不接受硬币退货。

According to The Royal Mint, over 443 million of the 1983 round £1 coins were put into circulation - making it the first round £1 to enter the market.

据英国皇家造币厂称，超过 4.43 亿枚 1983 年 1 英镑硬币投入流通，成为第一批进入市场的 1 英镑硬币。

The coin is made of copper-nickel and has a milled edge.

该硬币由铜镍制成，边缘经过铣削。

On the obverse side of the coin is the crowned Royal Arms design by Timothy Noad, while the reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the Dragon design.

硬币的正面是蒂莫西·诺德 (Timothy Noad) 设计的加冕皇家徽章，背面是贝内代托·皮斯特鲁奇 (Benedetto Pistrucci) 的圣乔治和龙设计。

Director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint Rebecca Morgan said: “There are occasionally reports of coins selling for large amounts on the secondary market, some of which seem a bit farfetched.

英国皇家造币厂纪念币总监丽贝卡·摩根表示：“偶尔有报道称硬币在二级市场上大量出售，其中一些似乎有点牵强。

“So we want to ensure collectors have the right information and pay a fair price for any coins they collect.

“因此，我们希望确保收藏家拥有正确的信息，并为他们收集的任何硬币支付公平的价格。

“A coin is ultimately worth what the collector is willing to pay for it, but there are factors you should consider before committing to a price.

“一枚硬币最终的价值取决于收藏家愿意支付的价格，但在决定价格之前您应该考虑一些因素。

“This can include the condition of the coin, its design, mintage figure and what it’s made of.

“这可能包括硬币的状况、设计、发行量及其材质。

“If you have a coin and are unsure about its history, rarity or authenticity, we offer a range of services at The Royal Mint to help establish its likely value and help our customers build a bespoke collection.

“如果您拥有一枚硬币，但不确定其历史、稀有性或真实性，我们皇家造币厂提供一系列服务，帮助确定其可能的价值，并帮助我们的客户打造定制收藏品。

“We also have a wide range of resources on our website to help people learn more about the coins in their pockets and coins they might inherit from family members.”

“我们的网站上还提供广泛的资源，帮助人们更多地了解口袋里的硬币以及他们可能从家庭成员那里继承的硬币。”

According to The Royal Mint, collectors should always establish how much a coin is in circulation before committing to a price for it.

根据英国皇家造币厂的说法，收藏家在确定硬币的价格之前应始终确定硬币的流通量。

And if in doubt, an expert should be consulted before making the purchase.

如有疑问，应在购买前咨询专家。

However, if people are looking to sell a coin on the secondary market and the coin has an unusually-low mintage, it might sell for higher than its face value.

然而，如果人们想在二级市场上出售一枚硬币，而该硬币的发行量异常低，那么它的售价可能会高于其面值。

Meanwhile, the condition of a coin is measured in relation to how much wear and tear it has suffered over the years.

与此同时，硬币的状况是根据其多年来遭受的磨损程度来衡量的。

The closer to mint condition (the condition it was in when it came off the production line at The Royal Mint) it is, the higher the value it could have.

越接近全新状态（从皇家造币厂生产线出来时的状态），其价值就越高。
