Coin expert and YouTuber Christopher Collects, who works with RWB Auctions, said: “We know that this is not a one-off, so there are likely similar coins out there, either put aside as a curiosity like this one or still circulating.

硬币专家和YouTuber Christopher收集了与RWB拍卖合作的人，他说：“我们知道这不是一次性的，因此可能有类似的硬币，要么像这样的好奇心，要么仍然在流传。

“When coins are made, a blank disc of metal is struck between two dies. If the wrong blank is fed into the machine, then the result is an error coin with a familiar design but made of the wrong metal.

“制成硬币时，将在两个模具之间敲出一块金属圆盘。如果错误的空白被送入机器中，则结果是带有熟悉设计的错误硬币，但由错误的金属制成。

“With modern quality control processes, most mistakes of this impacts are identified quickly but it is clear that a small number of error 2p coins were released into circulation in 1985.

“通过现代质量控制过程，这种影响的大多数错误都会很快确定，但是很明显，1985年释放了少数错误2P硬币。
