十进制前时代的稀有 1 便士硬币，如果状况良好，售价可能超过 160 英镑

一位用户名为“coincollectingwizard”的 TikTok 用户重点介绍了一枚来自前十进制时代的罕见 1 便士硬币，如果状况良好，其售价可能超过 160 英镑。

A rare 1p coin from the pre-decimal era could fetch more than £160 if it's in good condition, a TikTok user has revealed. The coin in question is an 1894 penny, notable for being the last of its kind to showcase Queen Victoria's iconic hairstyle.

一位 TikTok 用户透露，一枚十进制前时代的稀有 1 便士硬币，如果状况良好，可以卖到 160 英镑以上。这枚硬币是 1894 年的便士，因其是最后一枚展示维多利亚女王标志性发型的硬币而闻名。

That design lends it the nickname "bun coin". In the pre-decimal system of currency consisting of pounds, shillings, and pence and employed until February 1971, this coin stood out due to its Helmed Britannia depiction on one side, accompanied by the phrase "one penny" and the date.

这种设计使它获得了“面包币”的绰号。在 1971 年 2 月之前由英镑、先令和便士组成的前十进制货币体系中，这枚硬币因其一侧的头盔不列颠尼亚图案而脱颖而出，并附有短语“一便士”和日期。

Speaking on the matter, he disclosed: "The 1894 penny in extra-fine condition easily sells for over £160, so keep an eye out for this very old penny." The collector also signalled that hunting for it among leftover change might not yield results given the coin's age.

在谈到此事时，他透露：“这枚品相极好的 1894 年便士很容易就能卖到 160 英镑以上，所以请留意这枚非常古老的便士。”这位收藏家还表示，考虑到这枚硬币的年代，在剩下的零钱中寻找它可能不会有结果。

Meanwhile, a more accessible valuable coin could be the Kew Gardens 50p - a desirable addition to any collection released in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens' opening, reports the Mirror. The coin features the gardens' renowned Chinese Pagoda being encircled by a leafy climber. The rarity of this particular 50p stems from there being only 210,000 in circulation.

与此同时，据《镜报》报道，英国皇家植物园 50 便士可能是一种更容易获得的有价值的硬币，它是 2009 年为纪念英国皇家植物园开业 250 周年而发行的任何系列中的理想补充。硬币上的图案是花园里著名的中国宝塔，周围环绕着枝繁叶茂的攀缘植物。这款 50 便士的稀有性源于其流通量仅为 210,000 枚。

A recent eBay listing showed a Kew Gardens 50p coin selling for £147, with an additional £2.70 for delivery, on June 10 after receiving 19 bids. According to Coin Hunter, a change checking website, the average price of a circulated Kew Gardens 50p is around £140, although some have fetched higher prices.

The Royal Mint reissued a batch of these coins in 2019 as part of a collection celebrating 50 years of the 50p, and these tend not to command as high a price on eBay.

英国皇家造币厂在 2019 年重新发行了一批此类硬币，作为庆祝 50 便士发行 50 周年的系列硬币的一部分，但这些硬币在 eBay 上的售价往往不那么高。
