Royal Mint to celebrate VE Day's 80th anniversary with new coins

皇家薄荷與新硬幣一起慶祝VE Day誕辰80週年

To mark the launch of the new design, the Mint invited guests from the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans to its premises.

為了紀念新設計的推出，薄荷邀請了從出租車慈善機構的軍人退伍軍人到其場所的客人。

Veterans Ron Horsey, aged 98, and Richard Pelzer, 101, who are both from Swansea and served with the Royal Engineers, had a behind-the-scenes tour of the manufacturing site in South Wales and were invited to take part in coin striking.

98歲的退伍軍人羅恩·馬西（Ron Horsey）和101歲的理查德·佩爾澤（Richard Pelzer）都來自斯旺西（Swansea），並與皇家工程師（Royal Engineers）一起服務，他們在南威爾士（South Wales）的製造廠進行了幕後巡迴演出，並被邀請參加Coin Strikiking。

Mr Horsey said: “I’m incredibly proud to have been invited to the Royal Mint to strike this coin. VE Day holds such meaning for me and many others, and to be able to strike this design representing peace on to a coin all these years later is truly moving.

Horse先生說：“我為能夠被邀請到皇家造幣廠襲擊這枚硬幣感到非常自豪。Day對我和其他許多人的意義都具有這種意義，並且能夠在這些年以後能夠實現這一設計代表和平的硬幣。

“I hope this coin reminds people of the freedom we enjoy today and the cost at which it came.”

“我希望這種硬幣能使人們想起我們今天享有的自由以及它的成本。”

Vice president of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans Dick Goodwin described the visit as “a wonderful experience”.

出租車慈善機構副總裁迪克·古德溫（Dick Goodwin）將這次訪問描述為“美好的經歷”。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “The VE Day coin pays tribute to the courage, sacrifice and resilience of the generation who secured peace in Europe in May 1945 and it was fitting to welcome Ron and Richard to site to strike one of the first coins.”

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣主任麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）表示：“ VE日硬幣向1945年5月在歐洲獲得和平的勇氣，犧牲和韌性表示敬意，這很合適，歡迎Ron和Richard來襲擊第一批硬幣之一。”
