一位稀有的硬币专家敦促英国人对2英镑硬币的零钱进行检查，该硬币在拍卖会上拿出超过1000英镑。

The Lord Kitchener £2 coin was released in 2014 to mark a century since the start of World War One.

基奇纳勋爵（Lord Kitchener）£2硬币于2014年发行，以纪念第一次世界大战开始以来的一个世纪。

However, according to Coincollectingwizard, an error made on a select batch has left some of them highly desirable to rare coin collectors due to their unique nature.

但是，据ConcollectingWizard称，由于其独特的性质，因此在某些批次上犯了一个错误，因此对稀有硬币收集者非常需要。

On Instagram, Coincollectingziard said: "Your £2 coin might be worth much more than you think. The Lord Kitchener £2 coin was released in 2014 to mark the centenary of World War One. But there's a rare error version that collectors are going crazy for.

在Instagram上，Cocollectingziard说：“您的2英镑硬币的价值可能比您想象的要高得多。基奇纳勋爵（Lord Kitchener）£2硬币于2014年发行，以纪念第一次世界大战的一百周年。但是，收藏家会疯狂地出现一个罕见的错误版本。

"Normally, every £2 coin should have the words ‘two pounds’ on the adverse side of the coin underneath the portrait of Elizabeth II. But some Lord Kitchener coins were accidentally struck without these words.

“通常，每2英镑的硬币都应该在伊丽莎白二世肖像下的硬币的不良一侧有'两磅'的单词。但是，有些基奇纳勋爵的硬币被意外地击中，没有这些话。

"This mistake makes it super rare, and collectors are willing to pay big money for it. These error coins have been spotted selling for anywhere between £900 and £1000 and, in some cases, even more at auction.

“这个错误使它非常罕见，收藏家愿意为此付出巨额资金。这些错误硬币被发现以900英镑至1000英镑之间的价格出售，在某些情况下，拍卖会更多。

"So how do you check? It's simple. Just flip your coin over and look at the Queen's side. If you see ‘two pounds’, it's the normal version. If those words are missing, congratulations. You might just have a jackpot coin. Go and check your change right now."

“那你怎么检查？这很简单。只需将硬币翻转过来，看一下女王的一面。如果看到'两磅'，那是正常的版本。如果缺少这些单词，恭喜。您可能只有头奖硬币。现在就检查一下您的更改。”

Amazingly, according to the Royal Mint, it is not even the rarest of £2 coins. That title is held by the Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland 2002 £2 coin. There were 485,000 made, and is said to be a 'gem with collectors'.

令人惊讶的是，根据皇家造币厂的说法，它甚至不是2英镑的硬币中最稀有的。该冠军由2002年北爱尔兰英联邦运动会持有2英镑硬币。制造了485,000个，据说是“与收藏家的宝石”。

"Featuring the Ulster Banner alongside a victorious figure, the coin holds a special place in the hearts of collectors and sporting enthusiasts. With a remarkably low mintage of 485,500, it is the rarest coin on our list," the Royal Mint says. As of March 2014 there were an estimated 417 million £2 coins in circulation with an estimated face value of £834 million.

皇家薄荷说：“这枚硬币以胜利的人物为特色，在收藏家和体育爱好者的心中占有特殊的位置。皇家造币厂是我们名单上最稀有的硬币的低矮铸币厂。”截至2014年3月，估计有4.17亿英镑的硬币流通，估计面值为8.34亿英镑。
