这枚稀有的 2 英镑硬币于 2007 年铸造，上面刻有 1807 年的日期，最近两枚硬币在网上以 28 英镑和 25.74 英镑的价格出售。

A specific £2 coin could be stashed away in your change and it might just be worth 17 times its face value.

一枚特定的 2 英镑硬币可以藏在你的零钱中，它的价值可能只是其面值的 17 倍。

The rare £2 coins, minted in 2007, have the date 1807 engraved on them and recently two have sold online for £28 and £25.74.

这枚稀有的 2 英镑硬币于 2007 年铸造，上面刻有 1807 年的日期，最近两枚硬币在网上以 28 英镑和 25.74 英镑的价格出售。

The coins were part of a minting to commemorate 200 years since the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 - which made it illegal to trade slaves in the British Empire.

这些硬币是为了纪念 1807 年《奴隶贸易法案》通过 200 周年而铸造的一部分，该法案规定在大英帝国进行奴隶贸易是非法的。

But the reason these specific coins sold for so much is because they are part of the Piedfort silver edition, which makes them especially interesting to collectors.

但这些特定硬币售价如此高的原因是它们是皮德福特银版的一部分，这使得收藏家对它们特别感兴趣。

There were 3,990 of the Piedfort silver 1807 coins issued in total.

1807 年皮德福特银币总共发行了 3,990 枚。

"In a standard weight of 24.00 grams, this £2 is struck in .925 sterling silver with a band of fine gold plating around the edge reminiscent of the Two Pounds in your change," the Britannia Coin Company explained on their website.

“这枚 2 英镑的标准重量为 24.00 克，采用 0.925 纯银铸造，边缘镀有一条纯金带，让人想起零钱中的两英镑，”不列颠尼亚硬币公司在其网站上解释道。

The Piedfort silver 1807 coins were originally sold for around £49, whereas 8,445,000 of the regular 1807 coin were made, and are worth their £2 face value, the Sun reports.

据《太阳报》报道，1807 年皮德福特银币最初售价约为 49 英镑，而 1807 年普通硬币的发行量为 8,445,000 枚，面值为 2 英镑。

The silver coins are worth more because they were struck multiple times meaning they have better detail and quality, as well as their scarcity.

银币价值更高，因为它们被多次铸造，这意味着它们有更好的细节和质量，而且也很稀缺。

The coin features a broken chain motif with the zero forming part of the chain.

该硬币具有断链图案以及链条的零形成部分。

On the other side is the head of Queen Elizabeth II and it also features the inscription "Am I Not A Man, And A Brother".

另一面是英国女王伊丽莎白二世的头像，上面还刻有“Am I Not A Man, And A Brother”字样。

Meanwhile, a coin expert says there is a detail on some 20 pence pieces which can make it hundreds of times its normal value and known as the “holy grail”.

与此同时，一位硬币专家表示，大约 20 便士硬币上有一个细节，可以使其价值达到正常价值数百倍，被称为“圣杯”。

In 2008 some 20p coins were minted with the wrong dye and so, as a result, they have no dates.

2008 年，一些 20 便士的硬币铸造时使用了错误的染料，因此没有日期。

The mix up was the first time in three centuries a coin had entered circulation without a date.

这次混淆是三个世纪以来第一次没有日期的硬币进入流通。
