A RARE King Charles III 50p coin has sold for an astonishing £210 on eBay after being spotted in a collector's lucky change find.

一枚罕见的查理三世国王 50 便士硬币在一位收藏家的幸运零钱中被发现后，在 eBay 上以 210 英镑的惊人价格售出。

The coin, which celebrates the King’s first year on the throne, was quickly snapped up with an incredible eight bids on the auction site.

这枚纪念国王登基第一年的硬币很快在拍卖网站上以令人难以置信的八次出价被抢购一空。

It features an engraving of an Atlantic salmon leaping from the ocean and was part of a special series released by the Royal Mint in November 2023.

它雕刻着一条从海洋中跃出的大西洋鲑鱼，是英国皇家造币厂于 2023 年 11 月发行的特别系列的一部分。

With only 500,000 of these coins estimated to have entered circulation, they’ve quickly become one of the rarest 50p coins currently available.

这些硬币估计只有 500,000 枚进入流通，但它们很快就成为目前最稀有的 50 便士硬币之一。

Christopher Collects of the Britannia Coin Company said: "The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p is the rarest 50p coin out in circulation now.

Britannia Coin Company 的 Christopher Collects 表示：“2023 年大西洋鲑鱼 50 便士是目前流通的最稀有的 50 便士硬币。

"It is rarer than the highly sought-after Kew Gardens 50p, which is why it is selling for large sums of money.

“它比备受追捧的邱园 50 便士更为稀有，这就是它能卖到大笔钱的原因。

"It is worth mentioning that there are two versions though, so you need to be careful when buying it.

“值得一提的是，它有两个版本，购买时要小心。

"They look very similar, but one has a little Tudor crown privy mark, which is the version sold in annual coin sets.

“它们看起来非常相似，但其中一枚带有一点都铎王冠私人印记，这是在年度硬币套装中出售的版本。

"The one put into circulation does not have this privy mark. It is the circulated version without the privy mark that is attracting the largest premiums, so make sure you check before spending!"

“投入流通的版本没有这个私人标志。只有没有私人标志的流通版本才吸引最大的溢价，所以在消费之前一定要检查一下！”

The November 17 eBay sale involved two coins from a sealed bag, both without the Tudor crown privy mark, which collectors prize most highly.

11 月 17 日的 eBay 拍卖涉及两枚来自密封袋的硬币，两枚硬币都没有都铎王冠的私人标记，而收藏家们最看重的就是这一标记。

After eight bids, the coins sold for an impressive £210.74, highlighting the incredible demand for this 50p piece.

经过八次竞标后，这些硬币以令人印象深刻的 210.74 英镑成交，凸显了对这枚 50 便士硬币的巨大需求。

The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p coin is expected to remain valuable due to its low mintage in its first year, despite being the standard design for 50p coins going forward.

2023 年大西洋鲑鱼 50 便士硬币预计将保持价值，因为第一年的发行量较低，尽管它是未来 50 便士硬币的标准设计。

Christopher Collects explained: "The 2023 Salmon will still hold a premium being a very low minted year, but whether it holds the value it has now is a tough guess.

Christopher Collects 解释道：“2023 年三文鱼的铸造年份仍将保持溢价，但它是否能保持现在的价值还很难猜测。

"All it will take is for there to be a lot minted in a coming year, and it could become very common to find, which might deflate some of the excitement around it."

“所需要的只是在未来的一年中铸造大量硬币，并且它可能会变得很常见，这可能会削弱一些围绕它的兴奋感。”

This contrasts with the Kew Gardens 50p, a commemorative coin minted for circulation only in 2009, which remains one of the most famous and consistently valuable 50p coins ever released.

这与英国皇家植物园 50 便士形成鲜明对比，后者是 2009 年才铸造流通的纪念币，至今仍是有史以来发行的最著名且价值始终如一的 50 便士硬币之一。

Christopher added: "Regardless of what it does in the future, right now it is really exciting for coin collecting and has people checking their change looking to turn a 50p into £100+. Events like this help grow the hobby of coin collecting."

Christopher 补充道：“无论未来会发生什么，现在对于硬币收集来说确实令人兴奋，人们会检查自己的零钱，希望将 50 便士变成 100 英镑以上。这样的活动有助于培养硬币收集的爱好。”

If you’re lucky enough to find one of these coins in your change, it could mean a significant payday.

如果您足够幸运，在零钱中找到一枚这样的硬币，那么这可能意味着一笔可观的发薪日。

However, as Christopher warned, it’s essential to ensure the coin you have does not feature the Tudor crown privy mark, as only the non-privy-mark version was minted for circulation and is attracting the highest premiums.

然而，正如克里斯托弗警告的那样，必须确保您拥有的硬币没有都铎王室私人标记，因为只有无私人标记的版本才被铸造用于流通，并且吸引了最高的溢价。

To assess its current value, check eBay's recently sold listings under the “sold” filter.

要评估其当前价值，请在“已售”过滤器下检查 eBay 最近出售的列表。

Keep in mind that prices can vary based on timing, condition, and demand.

请记住，价格可能会根据时间、条件和需求而变化。

So, next time you sift through your change, keep an eye out for the leaping Atlantic salmon – your small change could turn into big money.

所以，下次你筛选零钱时，请留意跳跃的大西洋鲑鱼——你的小零钱可能会变成大钱。
