加拿大有一枚新的3D硬幣，收藏家可能需要在分期付款中付款。

The Royal Canadian Mint has released the Murano Monarch Butterfly — Half Kilo Fine Silver Coin, which features its biggest Murano glass butterfly yet.

加拿大皇家造幣廠發行了Murano Monarch Butterfly -Half Kilo Fine Silver Coin，其中包括其最大的Murano Glass Butterfly。

The 3D glass butterfly was sourced from Murano, Italy, where “master glassmakers honour a centuries-old process that produces the colours and complexity for which Murano glass is renowned,” according to the Mint.

根據薄荷，這只3D玻璃蝴蝶來自意大利Murano，“玻璃製造商紀念一個數百年曆史的過程，產生了Murano Glass著名的色彩和復雜性”。

Each butterfly is handcrafted, so no two Murano monarchs are alike.

每隻蝴蝶都是手工製作的，因此沒有兩個Murano Monarchs是相似的。

“It is truly unique to your selectively gold-plated coin, which, from start to finish, celebrates art in its many forms — from the original watercolour painting that the design is based on (as seen on the accompanying art card), to the delicate butterfly that is sure to inspire,” reads the description for the coin.

“從頭到尾，它是真正獨特的，從頭到尾，它以多種形式慶祝藝術 - 從設計所基於的原始水彩畫（如在隨附的藝術卡上看到的）到肯定會激發靈感的精緻蝴蝶，” Coin的描述。

The design

設計

According to the Mint, the 99.99 per cent pure silver coin is its first half-kilo design featuring a Murano butterfly and selective gold plating.

根據造幣廠的說法，99.99％的純銀硬幣是其第一個半吉洛設計，其中包括Murano蝴蝶和選擇性的金色鍍金。

The glass butterfly on the coin’s reverse is 3D, with its wings lifting off the coin like it’s about to flutter away.

硬幣背面的玻璃蝴蝶是3D，其機翼將硬幣抬起，就像即將撲滅。

The engraving behind the butterfly, designed by Caren Heine, features an intricate botanical art scene inspired by an original painting. The rim, the effigy on the obverse, and the engraved butterfly on the reverse are all gold-plated.

由卡倫·海恩（Caren Heine）設計的蝴蝶後面的雕刻設有一個複雜的植物藝術場景，靈感來自原始繪畫。邊緣，正面的雕像以及相反的雕刻蝴蝶都被鍍金。

“The monarch butterfly is an amazing and exquisite jewel of nature. I enjoyed trying to capture its beauty in this design, where it is set among its favourite plant, the milkweed, which I planted successfully in my garden!” stated Heine.

“君主蝴蝶是一種了不起的大自然珠寶。我很喜歡在這種設計中捕捉它的美麗，在該設計中，它被設置在其最喜歡的植物中，我在花園裡成功種植了！”海恩說。

“The painting that I submitted was a natural progression, as I have been a watercolour artist for many years and I loved the challenge of depicting the vibrancy of the delicate wings.”

“我提交的畫是自然的進步，因為我多年來一直是水彩畫家，而且我喜歡描繪微妙翅膀活力的挑戰。”

This coin isn’, one that you can keep in your pocket — it comes encapsulated in a dome with a wood base display case.

這枚硬幣是您可以放在口袋裡的一枚硬幣 - 它包裹在帶有木質底座盒的圓頂中。

“Shaped like a glass cloche, the dome and base complement the botanical theme and make for a memorable presentation,” reads the description.

該描述說：“形狀像玻璃塊狀，圓頂和底座是植物主題的補充，並使其令人難忘。”
