A TikTok coin expert has urged followers to check their change for a rare £2 coin that could be worth a huge amount.

一位 TikTok 硬币专家敦促追随者检查他们的零钱，寻找一枚罕见的价值 2 英镑的硬币，价值可能非常大。

On Wednesday (November 13), TikTok user @TheCoinCollectorUK posted a video captioned: "On the hunt for the Lord Kitchener error."

周三（11 月 13 日），TikTok 用户@TheCoinCollectorUK 发布了一段视频，标题为：“追捕基奇纳勋爵的错误。”

The video shows the coin collector searching through a bag of £2 coins that he explains in the comments that he got from a local bank.

视频中，这位硬币收藏家正在搜查一袋 2 英镑的硬币，他在当地银行的评论中对此进行了解释。

The Royal Mint produced 5,720,000 £2 coins featuring Lord Kitchener - the former British Secretary of State for War - to mark the 100th anniversary of World War I.

英国皇家造币厂铸造了 5,720,000 英镑的硬币，纪念第一次世界大战 100 周年，纪念英国前战争大臣基奇纳勋爵。

The reverse side of the coin is based on the iconic "Lord Kitchener Wants You" poster, which shows him pointing at the viewer with the words "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU" underneath.

硬币的反面是基于标志性的“基奇纳勋爵想要你”海报，海报上他指着观众，下面写着“你的国家需要你”。

The Lord Kitchener error coin is a rare £2 coin minted in 2014 that is missing the phrase "two pounds" on the obverse side. This sort of issue is called a "mule" error, which occurs when the wrong dies are used during the minting process.

基奇纳勋爵错误硬币是一枚罕见的 2 英镑硬币，于 2014 年铸造，正面缺少“两英镑”字样。此类问题称为“骡子”错误，当在铸造过程中使用错误的模具时就会发生这种情况。

It's considered to be one of the rarest documented error coins in circulation. In February 2024, one was sold off in Wiltshire through RWB Auctions with hopes it would go for over £1200.

它被认为是流通中最罕见的有记录的错误硬币之一。 2024 年 2 月，一件作品在威尔特郡通过 RWB Auctions 拍卖行售出，希望售价超过 1200 英镑。

Although it didn't go for quite that much, This Is Money reports that it did sell for £1000 - still a very impressive amount.

虽然它的售价并没有那么高，但据《This Is Money》报道，它确实卖到了 1000 英镑——仍然是一个非常可观的价格。

The Coin Collector didn't find a Lord Kitchener error £2 in his haul, but he did find two unusual coins: a Gunpowder Plot £2 and a Trinity House £2.

硬币收藏家在他的收获中没有发现基奇纳勋爵错误的 2 英镑，但他确实发现了两枚不寻常的硬币：火药地块 2 英镑和三一宫 2 英镑。

The Gunpowder Plot £2 coin was minted in 2005 and marks the 400th anniversary of Guy Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The edge inscription reads: "REMEMBER REMEMBER FIFTH OF NOVEMBER."

火药阴谋 2 英镑硬币于 2005 年铸造，纪念盖伊·福克斯炸毁议会大厦失败的 400 周年。边缘刻着：“记住十一月五日。”

However, though its an interesting design, it is not considered very rare. Coin website Change Checker gives it a scarcity rating of 5, meaning it is quite common and not worth a great deal more than its £2 face value.

然而，尽管它的设计很有趣，但并不被认为是非常罕见的。硬币网站 Change Checker 给它的稀缺性评级为 5，这意味着它很常见，而且价值不超过 2 英镑的面值。

The Trinity House £2 commemorates the 500th anniversary creation of Trinity House, the General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar, which was tasked with keeping Britain's naval forces safe.

Trinity House 售价 2 英镑，旨在纪念 Trinity House 创建 500 周年。Trinity House 是英格兰、威尔士、海峡群岛和直布罗陀的灯塔总局，其任务是保障英国海军的安全。

The reverse design featuring a depiction of a lighthouse lens. Change Checker gives it a scarcity rating of 13, meaning "less common".

背面设计描绘了灯塔镜头。 Change Checker 给它的稀缺性评级为 13，意思是“不太常见”。

A "normal" Trinity House £2 isn't worth a great deal more than its £2 face value either - they tend to sell for around £3.50 - although if you find one with minting errors it can push up the price.

一枚“普通”的 2 英镑 Trinity House 硬币的价值也不会比 2 英镑的面值高出很多——它们往往售价在 3.5 英镑左右——尽管如果你发现一枚有铸造错误的硬币，它可能会推高价格。

错误是：

One with multiple minting errors is currently listed for sale on eBay for £900.

目前，一枚有多个铸币错误的硬币在 eBay 上以 900 英镑的价格出售。

However, with a confirmed sale at auction of £1000, it seems that the Lord Kitchener error £2 is certainly well worth looking for, so remember to check your change for a pointing man with a big moustache.

然而，拍卖会上确认的售价为 1000 英镑，看来基奇纳勋爵错误 2 英镑确实值得寻找，所以请记得检查一下你的零钱，看看有没有一个大胡子的指点人。
