The enthusiast explained: "Check all your bee pound coins. Brand new bee £1 coins entered circulation just last month and an extremely rare error has been discovered within a month.

这位爱好者解释道：“检查一下你所有的蜜蜂镑硬币。全新的蜜蜂镑硬币上个月刚刚进入流通，一个月内就发现了一个极其罕见的错误。”

"The error was spotted by a Post Office worker after a delivery of the new coins reached the general public.

“在向公众交付新硬币后，一名邮局工作人员发现了这个错误。

"They noticed an all-gold pound coin that had clearly been minted by mistake. Our 12-sided one pound coins are supposed to be gold only around the edge, with a circular silver cupronickel part in the middle."

“他们注意到一枚全金的英镑硬币，显然是错误铸造的。我们的 12 面一英镑硬币应该只是边缘是金的，中间有一个圆形的银白铜部分。”

Although none of these misprinted coins have been auctioned yet, bids could potentially exceed £1,000.

尽管这些印刷错误的硬币尚未被拍卖，但出价可能超过 1,000 英镑。

The coin expert concluded: "Errors like this are often snapped up by error collectors, and they aren't cheap.

这位钱币专家总结道：“像这样的错误经常被错误收藏家抢购，而且它们的价格并不便宜。

"They sell potentially for hundreds of pounds, due to their rarity and also the fact that they should not even exist in the first place. The exact price this would sell for is unknown."

“由于它们的稀有性，而且它们本来就不应该存在，因此它们的售价可能高达数百英镑。具体售价尚不清楚。”

According to Birmingham Live, the bee design is part of a new collection of coins "inspired by Britain’s natural habitat".

据伯明翰现场报道，蜜蜂设计是“受英国自然栖息地启发”的新硬币系列的一部分。

The Royal Mint unveiled them in early October, with each design "highlighting His Majesty King Charles III’s passion for conservation and the natural world".

皇家造币厂于 10 月初推出了这些设计，每款设计都“凸显了查理三世国王陛下对保护和自然世界的热情”。
