According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a Scottish woman bought a pack of 1.99 pounds (about 4,600 won) containing 15 eggs at a supermarket in August.
However, one egg was a round circle, not a normal oval.
She immediately contacted the British auction house 'Thompson Rodick Callan' to proceed with the auction.
The egg was sold for 150 pounds (about 270,000 won) by a man named Ed Faunall from Lamburn, Berkshire.
He commissioned a process to remove the egg contents while keeping the shell intact to preserve it.
Since then, he recently donated eggs to a charity that helps mentally ill youth.
An organization official accepted the donation after checking the news, saying, `At first, I wondered if I was going to donate eggs.'," he said.
The egg was recently auctioned off and an anonymous buyer won a bid of 200 pounds (about 360,000 won).
It was sold for about 1,500 times more than the sale price of the mart.
The auction house's manager explained that the probability of such a perfect circular egg being born is one in a billion.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time round eggs have gained attention.
In 2015, a chicken at a house in Ratchingdon, Essex, England, laid a perfectly round egg and sold it for 480 pounds (about 870,000 won) on eBay.
