The book, which follows a young Palestinian woman named Dima who travels to Beirut to care for her dying grandmother, has been praised by judges for its incisive examination of themes such as identity, heritage, and belonging.

這本書跟隨一名年輕的巴勒斯坦婦女迪瑪（Dima），她旅行到貝魯特（Beirut）照顧她垂死的祖母，她因其對身份，遺產和歸屬等主題的敏銳審查而受到法官的稱讚。

It was selected by a panel of literary figures from twelve shortlisted entries, also including Rapture’s Road by Seán Hewitt (published by Carcanet), Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon (published by Faber & Faber), The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden (published by New Island), I Will Crash by Rebecca Watson (published by Penguin) and Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good by Eley Williams (published by Harvill Secker).

Announcing the winner at an event in Swansea on Thursday 15 May, Chair of Judges Namita Gokhale said: “Whittling our exceptional longlist of twelve down to six brilliant books, and then again to just one, was not an easy exercise – yet the judging panel was unanimous in their decision to name debut novelist Yasmin Zaher as the winner of the 2025 Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize.

“Zaher brings complexity and intensity to the page through her elegantly concise writing: The Coin is a borderless novel, tackling trauma and grief with bold and poetic moments of quirkiness and humour. It fizzes with electric energy. Yasmin Zaher is an extraordinary winner to mark twenty years of this vital prize.”

“ Zaher通過她優雅的簡潔寫作給頁面帶來了複雜性和強度：硬幣是一部無邊界的小說，以大膽而富有詩意的怪異和幽默來解決創傷和悲傷。它充滿了電能。Yasmin Zaher是這項至關重要的獎項的十二十年的非凡勝利者。”

Zaher has been awarded the £20,250 prize for outstanding literary talent published in English and written by an author aged 39 years or under.

扎赫（Zaher）因以英語出版，由39歲以下的作者撰寫，獲得了20,250英鎊的傑出文學才華獎。
