Rare £2 coin sells for £255 and there could be more out there

A rare £2 coin has sold for £255 after being minted in all one colour.

While regular £2 coins feature a yellow metal nickel-brass ring on the outside, and a grey cupro-nickel disc in the middle, this one is all yellow. The coin, which is dated 2009, sold for £255 exactly, plus £1.50 delivery, around 127 times its face value.

It was up for auction for a week, attracting some 28 bids in that time, the Mirror reports.
