Coin collectors and the public are being urged to check their change as the first £1 coin featuring His Majesty King Charles III has entered circulation this week.

首枚印有查理三世國王陛下圖案的 1 英鎊硬幣本週已開始流通，因此敦促硬幣收藏家和公眾檢查找零。

The new coin, which pays tribute to British bees, is the latest design from The Royal Mint and has been distributed to UK Post Offices and banks.

這款新硬幣向英國蜜蜂致敬，是皇家造幣廠的最新設計，已分發給英國郵局和銀行。

A total of 2.975 million coins have been issued, marking the beginning of a series of new designs set to appear on all denominations, from the 1p to the £2 coin.

總共發行了 297.5 萬枚硬幣，標誌著一系列新設計的開始，這些設計將出現在從 1 便士到 2 英鎊硬幣的所有面額硬幣上。

These designs feature a variety of species under active conservation, including the Hazel Dormouse, Puffin, and Atlantic Salmon.

這些設計以多種受到積極保護的物種為特色，包括榛睡鼠、海雀和大西洋鮭魚。

The designs, unveiled in October 2023, reflect King Charles’ deep commitment to conservation.

這些設計於 2023 年 10 月公佈，反映了查爾斯國王對保護的堅定承諾。

In addition to the wildlife depictions, the coins feature an enlarged number indicating their value, aimed at helping children learn about money.

除了野生動物的描繪外，這些硬幣還配有放大的數字來表明其價值，旨在幫助孩子了解金錢。

A distinctive pattern of three interlocking C’s, inspired by the cypher of Charles II, unifies the new coins.

受查理二世密碼的啟發，三個互鎖的 C 的獨特圖案將新硬幣統一起來。

Rebecca Morgan Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint said, “The Royal Mint has made the circulating coinage of each of Britain’s monarchs since Alfred the Great and it is an honour to reveal that King Charles III’s £1 coin is now in circulation.

英國皇家造幣廠紀念幣總監麗貝卡·摩根(Rebecca Morgan) 表示：「自阿爾弗雷德大帝以來，英國皇家造幣廠一直在鑄造英國歷任君主的流通硬幣，很榮幸地透露，查理三世國王的1 英鎊硬幣現在正在流通。

“We know there’ll be a buzz of excitement amongst collectors and the public to get this special piece of history in their change.

「我們知道收藏家和公眾會因在他們的改變中獲得這段特殊的歷史而興奮不已。

“We hope the designs across all denominations spark important conversations about the conservation of these important species.”

“我們希望所有教派的設計能夠引發有關保護這些重要物種的重要對話。”

In a poll hosted by The Royal Mint, the £1 coin was crowned as the favourite among all eight-coin designs, with the 2p depicting the Red Squirrel following closely in second place.

在英國皇家造幣廠主辦的一項民意調查中，1 英鎊硬幣被評為所有八種硬幣設計中最受歡迎的硬幣，描繪紅松鼠的 2 便士硬幣緊隨其後位居第二。

Close to 3,000 people cast their votes to crown their favourite design, with the £1 coming out on top with nearly 30% of the votes.
