The UK £2 coin “has become a hidden treasure within our everyday change,” according to the Mint. It has been circulating for 25 years and is often minted in limited quantities, adding to the intrigue and allure around it.

造币厂说，英国2英镑的硬币“已成为我们日常变革中的隐藏宝藏”。它已经循环了25年，并且经常被有限的数量铸造，从而增加了周围的阴谋和吸引力。

The coin’s history goes back to 1986 when the first commemorative UK £2 coin was struck for the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. This was the first time a sporting event had been commemorated on British coinage.

硬币的历史可以追溯到1986年，当时第一个纪念英国2英镑的硬币被击中了爱丁堡的英联邦运动会。这是第一次在英国造币上纪念体育赛事。

A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount of the piece was put into circulation, meaning there are less available for people to get hold of. The coin may have an unusual marking, and other times it can feature a familiar character or cartoon on it, which drives up demand from collectors.

如果将少量的作品流通，则通常将硬币归类为罕见，这意味着人们无法掌握少量。硬币可能具有不寻常的标记，而其他时候它可以带有熟悉的角色或卡通，从而驱动了收藏家的需求。
