印有查理三世圖案的新版 1 英鎊硬幣在英國開始流通

這些硬幣的背面描繪了一對蜜蜂，標誌著國王的新統治並慶祝他對自然世界的熱愛。

The first £1 coins featuring King Charles III entered circulation in the UK this week, marking the new reign of the British monarch.

第一批印有查理三世國王圖案的 1 英鎊硬幣本週在英國開始流通，標誌著英國君主的新統治。

According to the BBC on August 20, nearly three million coins were sent to post offices and banks.

據英國廣播公司8月20日報道，近300萬枚硬幣被送往郵局和銀行。

The coins, which feature a pair of bees on the reverse, mark the new reign and celebrate the king's love for the natural world. While coins featuring the king will now be in circulation, coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation. New sets of coins are minted in response to demand.

這些硬幣的背面有一對蜜蜂，標誌著新的統治並慶祝國王對自然世界的熱愛。雖然國王的硬幣現在將流通，但伊莉莎白二世女王的硬幣將繼續流通。根據需求鑄造新的硬幣。

"I am honored to announce that The King Charles III £1 coin is now in circulation. We know there will be excitement among collectors and the public to get this special piece of history in their coin," said Rebecca Morgan, Director of the Royal Mint.

「我很榮幸地宣布，查理三世國王1 英鎊硬幣現已開始流通。我們知道，收藏家和公眾會對在硬幣上刻下這段特殊的歷史感到興奮不已，」皇家皇家博物館總監麗貝卡·摩根(Rebecca Morgan) 說道薄荷。

Bees are among the eight new designs that will appear on national coins, from 1 pence to 2 pounds. The new coin designs were unveiled in October.

蜜蜂是將出現在國家硬幣上的八種新圖案之一，硬幣的面值從 1 便士到 2 磅不等。新的硬幣設計於十月公佈。

The coins will feature the flora and fauna of the country, with animals - from the capercaillie to the capercaillie - used to symbolize the importance and fragility of the natural world.

這些硬幣將描繪該國的動植物群，其中的動物——從松雞到松雞——用來象徵自然世界的重要性和脆弱性。

Morgan said she hopes the cross-faith projects will spark "important conversations about the conservation of these important species." Each coin was created with the support of the Royal Horticultural Society and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

摩根表示，她希望跨信仰計畫能引發「有關保護這些重要物種的重要對話」。每枚硬幣都是在英國皇家園藝學會和英國皇家鳥類保護學會的支持下製作的。

The size and shape of the coins remain the same, which is key as coins are still widely used in vending machines, supermarket checkouts and parking meters. However, the numbers on the coins have been enlarged to help children recognize numbers and learn to count.

硬幣的大小和形狀保持不變，這一點很關鍵，因為硬幣仍然廣泛用於自動販賣機、超市收銀台和停車計時器。不過，硬幣上的數字已放大，以幫助孩子們識別數字並學習數數。

"The Royal Mint has struck coins for every British monarch since Alfred the Great," said Morgan. "While commemorative coins featuring King Charles have been in circulation, these new designs - officially known as definitives - mark the transition to everyday coins."

「自阿爾弗雷德大帝以來，皇家造幣廠為每一位英國君主鑄造過硬幣，」摩根說。 “雖然以查爾斯國王為主題的紀念幣一直在流通，但這些新設計 - 官方稱為最終設計 - 標誌著向日常硬幣的過渡。”

The previous shield-shaped set was introduced under Queen Elizabeth II in 2008 and will continue to dominate the 29 billion coins in circulation in the UK for some time to come.

之前的盾形硬幣是在 2008 年伊麗莎白二世女王領導下推出的，在未來一段時間內將繼續主導英國流通的 290 億枚硬幣。
