罕见的50p英国脱欧硬币可能价值4万英镑 - 在沙发后面发现了两枚

People are being urged to check their loose change after two rare 50p coins were found, which could be worth up to £40,000 each at auction.

在发现两枚稀有的50p硬币后，人们正在敦促人们检查他们的零钱，拍卖时每人最多值得40,000英镑。

The coins were meant to commemorate the day the UK left the European Union, and were minted with the date January 31 2020.

这些硬币本来是为了纪念英国离开欧盟的那一天，并在2020年1月31日的日期中被铸造。

But two coins somehow slipped through with the incorrect date several months earlier.

但是几个月前，两枚硬币以某种方式滑过了不正确的日期。

The Royal Mint had initially made a million coins with the date October 31 2019, which was the date we were originally due to leave.

皇家造币厂最初是在2019年10月31日的日期制作了一百万个硬币，这是我们最初要离开的日期。

After it was delayed, the coins were melted down and none were thought to have survived.

延迟后，硬币融化了，没有人认为没有生存。

However, two of the coins have now turned up, in a find an auctioneer compared to discovering Willy Wonka’s ‘golden ticket’.

但是，与发现威利·旺卡（Willy Wonka）的“金票”（Golden Ticket）相比，其中两枚硬币现在已经出现了。

Gregory Edmund, from Spink and Son auction house, is so excited by the discovery that he has set up an email hotline for anyone else who thinks they’ve found one.

来自Spink and Son Auction House的Gregory Edmund对发现感到非常兴奋，以至于他为其他认为自己找到的人建立了电子邮件热线。

He says he expects the coins to be worth at least £40,000 at auction, so is naturally keen to see if any others are clinking around.

他说，他希望这些硬币在拍卖会上至少价值40,000英镑，因此自然渴望看看是否还有其他人在扭曲。

Mr Edmund told The Telegraph: ‘Given the extremely stringent security at the Royal Mint, to suddenly have two examples survive, and be available for study at the same time, is a unique opportunity.

埃德蒙（Edmund）先生告诉《电讯报》：“鉴于皇家造币厂的安全性极为严格，突然有两个例子幸存下来，并可以同时进行研究，这是一个独特的机会。

‘This truly feels like my Charlie Bucket moment discovering the numismatic Golden Ticket.’

“这确实感觉就像我的查理桶时刻发现了钱币的金票。”

The coins are so sought after that he thinks their sale would break his auction house’s record for the sale price of a circulating coin, which was £42,000 last year for a 1965 gold halfpenny which had an error.

这些硬币受到了追捧，以至于他认为他们的销售将打破他的拍卖行的销售价格循环硬币的纪录，去年的1965年金彭尼（Gold Halfpenny）去年为42,000英镑，这是一个错误。

The two which showed up were found by ‘lucky coin hunters’ in their loose change, he said.

他说，“幸运硬币猎人”的变化片段是在发现的。

They have not been confirmed as legitimate by the Royal Mint.

皇家造币厂尚未确认它们是合法的。

But if you think you’ve spotted one, you can email brexit50p@spink.com and potentially buy yourself much more than a Freddo bar.

但是，如果您认为自己已经发现了一个，则可以发送电子邮件至bre dexit50p@spink.com，并有可能比弗雷德多吧（Freddo Bar）购买更多的东西。
