A Chinese company
manufactured thousands of souvenirs for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee with
a spelling mistake.

A spelling mistake
made on thousands of souvenirs produced to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s
Platinum Jubilee has proven to be a costly error. According to People magazine,
the phrase “the Platinum Jubbly of Queen Elizabeth II” has been imprinted
on over 10,000 cups, tea sets, and designer plates. Along with the error, the
mementos contain a depiction of the monarch wrapped by her coat of arms.

The souvenirs were
intended to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign, but the misspelling of
“jubilee” has made them nearly valueless.

The Chinese
manufacturing company that made the spelling mistake while printing is now
attempting to resell the misprinted souvenirs as collectibles. A commemorative
crockery firm approached the company.

The makers manufactured
some great souvenir products in an attempt to cash in on the Queen’s
forthcoming Platinum Jubilee, but were left high and dry when their fulfilment
partner in the United Kingdom decided not to take the souvenir stock owing to a
translation problem, they claimed on their website.

“How could our
limited-edition misprinted crockery be more unique?” According to Karl
Baxter, CEO of Wholesale Clearance, “This could be your opportunity to get
your hands on a unique souvenir at a fraction of the cost,” he added.

Wholesale Clearance
has labelled the stock as “Souvenir Stock with Slight Typo Mistake.”
The complete set is being offered for 32,400 pounds. On Sunday, February 6,
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II will become the first British monarch to rule for
70 years, marking the start of her Platinum Jubilee year. The 95-year-old
monarch will commemorate her father’s death in secret before a series of public
events in early June, according to news agency AFP.
