Ulta-Rare 50p硬币以模糊的奥运会游泳者的脸为特色，其价值在eBay上的价值8,000倍

由于设计异常错误，因此50p的价格高达4,000英镑。

An incredibly rare 50p coin has sold on eBay for a staggering 8000 times its usual value - due to an "extra special" detail.

由于“额外的特殊”细节，这是一款极为稀有的50p硬币在eBay上以惊人的8000倍售出的8000倍。

The coin, which was released in 2011 in anticipation for the London Olympics, features a swimmer submerged in water on its tails side.

这款硬币于2011年因对伦敦奥运会的期待而发行，该硬币的特征是一名游泳者淹没在其尾部一侧的水中。

However, unlike other versions, the swimmer's face is obscured by the ripples in the water.

Shortly after the manufacturing process began, the error was corrected - meaning there are only a few hundred in circulation.

The coin attracted a fierce bidding war, with 28 enthusiasts vying for the item.

Kimberly Day, coin expert from RWB, said at the time: "Only a few hundred examples with this rare design variation are believed to have been released.

RWB的硬币专家Kimberly Day当时表示：“据信，只有几百个具有这种罕见的设计变化的例子已经发布。

“我们很高兴这种硬币筹集了如此巨大的价格，这是如此稀有的硬币的合理价格，我们认为它的价值只会随着时间而增加。”

如何发现稀有硬币

A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount were struck, or a manufacturing error occurred when they were being made.

如果犯有有限的数量，则通常将硬币归类为罕见，或者在制造错误时发生了错误。

A low mintage figure, which is set by The Royal Mint, relates to how many of a coin were made.

由皇家造币厂设定的低薄荷型人物与制造了多少硬币有关。

Generally, the lower that figure, the more buyers are willing to pay for it, although this isn't always the case.

通常，该数字越低，买家愿意为此付出的代价越多，尽管情况并非总是如此。

You can sell a rare coin on eBay, Facebook, or in an auction.
