He highlighted the 2014 Lord Kitchener £2 coin, which was issued to commemorate a century since the outbreak of the First World War.

The TikTok user revealed: "This coin launched to mark the centenary of the First World War, the error version is missing the words £2 from the heads side. The coin was launched nine years ago to mark 100 years since the start of the First World War."

He noted how it bears the face of Lord Kitchener, famed for his appearance on wartime recruitment posters. But it's specifically the variant without the '£2' inscription that could make you a tidy sum over £1,000.

The coin expert also touched on the 2016 Shakespeare - Tragedies piece. He revealed: "The writing on the edge of this coin from 2014 should read 'what a piece of work is a man'.

"Tragedies error coins have the wrong inscription for king and country from the 2016 army First World War Centenary £2 coin. This normally sells for around £30 plus, a lovely error coin to find."

Despite not being worth a fortune, it's still 15 times more than face value... Every little helps, right? The video has since racked up nearly 200 likes. Many fans flocked to the comments section to share they own one of these coins.

One user commented: "How cool would it be to come across Kitchener error." Another chimed in: "Yes I have this."
