The first definitive coins of King Charles III's reign have entered circulation, adorned with British bees in a tribute to the King's passion for conservation.

查理三世國王統治時期的第一批正式硬幣已開始流通，硬幣上裝飾有英國蜜蜂，以向國王對環境保護的熱情致敬。

Nearly three million of the new designs will be making their way into people’s pockets and tills across the country this week, via Post Offices and banks throughout the UK.

本週，近三百萬件新設計將透過英國各地的郵局和銀行進入全國各地人們的口袋和收銀台。

The £1 coin depicts a pair of British bees on the “tails” side, in honour of the King’s passion for conservation and the natural world, and Charles’ official coin effigy on the obverse or “heads”.

1英鎊硬幣的「尾巴」一側描繪了一對英國蜜蜂，以紀念國王對保護和自然世界的熱情，而正面或「頭部」則描繪了查爾斯的官方硬幣肖像。

A total of 2.975 million £1 coins are being issued to banks and Post Offices, and they will co-circulate alongside ones displaying the effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which will be replaced over time as they become damaged or worn.

總共向銀行和郵局發行了 297.5 萬英鎊的硬幣，它們將與展示已故女王伊麗莎白二世肖像的硬幣一起流通，隨著時間的推移，如果損壞或磨損，這些硬幣將被更換。

The £1 coin is one of eight designs ranging from the 1p to the £2, inspired by flora and fauna to reflect the King's commitment to the environment, which were created as new definitives – standardised designs seen on the majority of official currency.

1 英鎊硬幣是從1 便士到2 英鎊的八種設計之一，其靈感來自動植物群，反映了國王對環境的承諾，這些設計是作為新的定義——大多數官方貨幣上看到的標準化設計而創建的。

Following commemorative coins bearing the King’s portrait, the first Charles III definitive – the 50p depicting an Atlantic salmon – was released in November 2023.

繼印有國王肖像的紀念幣之後，第一枚查理三世最終版硬幣——描繪大西洋鮭魚的 50 便士硬幣——於 2023 年 11 月發行。

A historic moment of change.

歷史性的變革時刻。

The other designs, which will be introduced in line with demand, are the 1p showing a hazel dormouse, the 2p red squirrel, the 5p oak tree leaf, 10p capercaillie grouse, 20p puffin, and the £2 with the national flowers – rose, daffodil, thistle and shamrock.

其他設計將根據需求推出，包括 1 便士為榛睡鼠、2 便士為紅松鼠、5 便士為橡樹葉、10 便士為松雞、20 便士為海雀，以及 2 便士為國花——玫瑰、水仙花、薊和三葉草。

A public poll by the Royal Mint found that the £1 bee coin was the favourite, closely followed by the 2p red squirrel.

英國皇家造幣廠的一項民意調查發現，1 英鎊的蜜蜂硬幣最受歡迎，緊隨其後的是 2 便士的紅松鼠硬幣。

They also have a repeating pattern of three interlocking Cs, which gives a nod to history through the cypher of Charles II.

它們還具有三個連鎖 C 的重複圖案，透過查理二世的密碼向歷史致敬。

The number indicating the value of the coin has also been enlarged to help children with their counting skills.

表示硬幣價值的數字也被放大，以幫助孩子們提高計數技能。

Banknotes with the King's portrait went into circulation in June, marking the first time that the sovereign has been changed on the Bank of England’s notes.

印有國王肖像的紙幣於六月開始流通，標誌著英格蘭銀行紙幣上的主權首次改變。
