A rare two-pence coin with a "major error" has sold for £700 at auction.

一枚有“重大错误”的罕见两便士硬币在拍卖会上以 700 英镑的价格售出。

The 2p coin from 1983, which was sold at RWB Auctions last week, has an unusual wording that has piqued the interest of collectors worldwide.

这枚 1983 年的 2 便士硬币上周在 RWB 拍卖会上出售，其不寻常的措辞引起了世界各地收藏家的兴趣。

Due to a mistake by the UK's Royal Mint, the coin reads "new pence" instead of "two pence".

由于英国皇家造币厂的失误，硬币上写着“新便士”而不是“两便士”。

This subtle error is believed to have occurred when an old dye was used to strike the coin, and only a few of these coins are thought to exist.

这种微妙的错误被认为是在使用旧染料来铸造硬币时发生的，并且这些硬币中只有少数被认为存在。

The rare 2p coin was part of a promotional giveaway called The Great British 1983 Coin Collection, a collaboration between The Royal Mint and Italian drinks company Martini and Rossi.

这枚罕见的 2 便士硬币是英国皇家造币厂与意大利饮料公司 Martini and Rossi 合作推出的名为“伟大的英国 1983 硬币系列”促销赠品的一部分。

Despite thousands of sets being released, only a small number feature the rare 2p coin.

尽管已发行了数千套，但只有少数套币具有稀有的 2p 硬币。

Jon White, of RWB Auctions, is now urging those born in the 1980s to check their coins, saying: "It is worth checking old coin collections for this set, particularly if you were born in 1983.

RWB 拍卖行的乔恩·怀特 (Jon White) 现在敦促 1980 年代出生的人检查他们的硬币，他说：“值得检查这套硬币的旧硬币收藏，特别是如果您出生于 1983 年。

"Someone may have bought you one as a baby or as a Christening present. If they happened to get hold of a rare one, then you have a very valuable gift on your hands."

“有人可能在你还是婴儿的时候给你买了一件，或者作为洗礼礼物。如果他们碰巧得到了一件稀有的，那么你手上就有了一份非常有价值的礼物。”
