This particular coin is an incredibly rare two-pence piece hailing from 1983, and there is a major error in the design, which means that it's worth 25,000 times its face value.

这枚特别的硬币是 1983 年发行的极其罕见的两便士硬币，设计上存在重大错误，这意味着它的价值是其面值的 25,000 倍。

Michael explains you could get "potentially up to £500 for this two pence coin.

迈克尔解释说，“这枚 2 便士硬币可能能卖到 500 英镑。

"So the reason is it's a 1983 coin, and this is supposed to say two pence on here," demonstrating the 'tails' side of the coin, "so up until 1982, they all said new pence, and they were switching over in 1983 to say 'two pence' but the Royal Mint, a little mistake in the Royal Mint, and we like mistakes as coin collectors in the minting process because that means more value."

“所以原因是这是一枚 1983 年的硬币，这里应该写着两便士，”展示硬币的“反面”，“所以直到 1982 年，他们都说新便士，而且他们正在转换1983 年说‘两便士’是皇家造币厂，皇家造币厂犯了一个小错误，而我们作为硬币收藏家喜欢在铸造过程中犯错误，因为这意味着更多的价值。”

The coin expert adds that there isn't a certain number of how many of these two pence pieces got into circulation.

硬币专家补充说，这两枚便士硬币的具体数量并不清楚。

"So they don't know how many of these got out, but not many and potentially up to £500 so definitely keep an eye out for these if you're in the UK and anywhere else in the world where you've got access to these coins because this coin is worth a lot more than just two pence."

“所以他们不知道其中有多少被泄露，但数量并不多，而且可能高达 500 英镑，所以如果你在英国和世界上任何其他可以访问的地方，一定要留意这些。这些硬币因为这枚硬币的价值远不止两便士。”

In the comments, the expert clarified that more recently some of these special coins minted in error had actually sold for up to £1000 - the condition of the coin can play a big part in how much a collector is willing to pay.

在评论中，专家澄清说，最近一些错误铸造的特殊硬币实际上售价高达 1000 英镑——硬币的状况对收藏家愿意支付的价格起着很大的作用。

So keep a keen eye on any coppers that come your way in case you find one of these 1983 coins.

因此，请密切关注您遇到的任何铜币，以防您发现一枚 1983 年的硬币。
