It is thought that the coin was minted by mistake, and only a small number of them were ever produced. This makes them extremely rare and valuable to collectors.

The coin was sold on eBay by a seller from the UK. The winning bidder was a collector from the US who paid £265 for the coin.

The sale of this coin highlights the importance of checking your change for rare and valuable coins. You never know when you might find a hidden treasure.

Here are some tips for spotting rare and valuable coins:

• Look for coins with unusual designs or inscriptions.
• Check the date on the coin. Coins that are older are more likely to be valuable.
• Weigh the coin. Rare coins are often made of different metals than common coins.
• Measure the coin. Rare coins are often different sizes than common coins.
• Do some research online. There are many websites that can help you identify rare and valuable coins.

If you think you have found a rare coin, you should take it to a professional coin dealer to have it appraised. They will be able to tell you if the coin is genuine and how much it is worth.
