稀有硬币专家揭示了流通中的 2 英镑和 50 便士硬币的价值可能远远超过其面值

TikTok 的硬币收集向导建议他的追随者留意两枚特殊的 2 英镑硬币和一枚已经流通多年的 50 便士硬币

A TikTok rare coin expert has revealed the identities of several coins in circulation that could be worth far more than their monetary value.

一位 TikTok 稀有硬币专家透露了几种流通硬币的身份，这些硬币的价值可能远远超过其货币价值。

TikTok's Coin Collecting Wizard shared a video on the minting errors that has led to certain £2 and 50p coins being struck differently to the majority of others out there.

TikTok 的硬币收集向导分享了一段关于铸造错误的视频，这些错误导致某些 2 英镑和 50 便士硬币的铸造方式与大多数其他硬币不同。

The clip began by highlighting a "rotation error" that has been discovered on some 2015 £2 coins.

这段视频首先强调了一些 2015 年 2 英镑硬币上发现的“旋转错误”。

"Everyone is being urged to carry out a simple test for the error that could make the coin much more valuable," the expert said.

这位专家表示：“我们敦促每个人对这个错误进行一个简单的测试，这可能会使硬币变得更有价值。”

The check involves flipping the coin over - and should the "Two Pounds" inscription on the reverse be the opposite way around to Queen Elizabeth II's bust - then you're in luck.

支票涉及将硬币翻转过来，如果背面的“两英镑”铭文与伊丽莎白二世女王的半身像相反，那么您很幸运。

Another rare £2 coin is that of the Lord Kitchener World War 1 centenary edition - of which more than five million were minted in 2014.

另一种罕见的 2 英镑硬币是基奇纳勋爵第一次世界大战一百周年纪念版，2014 年铸造了超过 500 万枚。

The coin features an image on the reverse of Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, along with the famous phrase, 'Your Country Needs You'.

该硬币的背面印有陆军元帅霍雷肖·赫伯特·基奇纳的头像，以及著名的短语“你的国家需要你”。

If yours is missing the "Two Pounds" inscription beneath Queen Elizabeth II's bust, then again you could find yourself up to £1,000 better off at auction.

如果您的伊丽莎白二世女王半身像下方缺少“两英镑”铭文，那么您可能会发现自己在拍卖会上的售价高达 1,000 英镑。

The wizard closed with another rotation error - this time concerning the Benjamin Bunny 50p, which formed part of the Beatrix Potter collection of coins in 2017.

巫师以另一个旋转错误结束——这次是关于本杰明兔子 50 便士，它是 2017 年碧翠丝·波特系列硬币的一部分。

"The same rule applies when looking out for this error," he said.

“在寻找这个错误时，同样的规则也适用，”他说。

Again if Queen Elizabeth II's bust on the obverse side of the coin isn't aligned with the image of the character on the reverse, then your coin is highly desirable amongst collectors.

同样，如果硬币正面的伊丽莎白二世女王半身像与背面的人物形象不一致，那么您的硬币就非常受收藏家欢迎。

Earlier this week, another expert urged people to be on the lookout for an extremely rare new coin that is already selling for £250.

本周早些时候，另一位专家敦促人们留意一枚极其罕见的新硬币，该硬币的售价已经达到 250 英镑。

While this coin is not currently in circulation, it could eventually end up in your change.

虽然这枚硬币目前尚未流通，但它最终可能会变成您的零钱。

The piece in question is a £2 coin designed to celebrate the works of author, George Orwell.

这件作品是一枚 2 英镑的硬币，旨在纪念作家乔治·奥威尔的作品。

It features an eye on the reverse with the message, 'Big Brother is watching you' in reference to his novel, 1984.

它的背面有一只眼睛，上面写着“老大哥在看着你”，参考了他的小说《1984》。

However, on January 20, a number of these coins were minted with a noticeable error with the inscription along the edge of the coin incorrect.

然而，1 月 20 日，其中一些硬币的铸造存在明显错误，硬币边缘的铭文不正确。

This occurred as part of a Royal Mint Experience tour in which people were invited to strike their own coin.

这是皇家造币厂体验之旅的一部分，邀请人们铸造自己的硬币。

Coin Collector UK, explained: "£250 for a newly discovered error coin. Yesterday approximately 60 error £2 coins were produced at the Royal Mint with the incorrect edge inscription.

英国硬币收藏家解释说：“新发现的错误硬币价值 250 英镑。昨天，皇家造币厂生产了大约 60 枚错误的 2 英镑硬币，边缘铭文不正确。

"Every £2 coin has different edge lettering relating to the design. And the old flora blanks were still being used from the previous day.

“每枚 2 英镑的硬币都有与设计相关的不同边缘刻字。而且前一天仍然使用旧的花卉毛坯。

"This meant that George Orwell was stamped on £2 coins with the incorrect edge inscription reading, 'in servitio omnium' instead of 'there was truth and there was untruth'."

“这意味着乔治·奥威尔被印在价值 2 英镑的硬币上，边缘铭文的内容是错误的，‘inservitioomnium’，而不是‘有真理，有谎言’。”
