上海薄荷博物館將硬幣藝術帶到倫敦，並帶有地標展覽“ Coinect”

上海薄荷博物館享有聲望的紀念硬幣和獎牌的亮點正在倫敦展出。

A landmark exhibition showcasing highlights from the Shanghai Mint Museum's prestigious collection of commemorative coins and medals has arrived in London. Titled COINect, the exhibition is now open to the public from June 8 to 14 at the historic former Royal Mint Court.

上海薄荷博物館著名的紀念硬幣和獎牌收藏的具有里程碑意義的展覽，已經到達倫敦。該展覽名為Coinect，現已在6月8日至14日在歷史悠久的前皇家造幣廠法院向公眾開放。

The exhibition, spanning over a century of Chinese cultural and artistic expression through coin design, is being presented outside of China for the first time.

該展覽跨越了一個世紀以來通過硬幣設計的中國文化和藝術表達，首次在中國境外展出。

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Bi Haibo, minister counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, said the two mints in Shanghai and London, both standing by the river, make this moment of China-UK cultural dialogue more vivid and tangible.

中國大使館在英國大使館的開幕式上說，上海和倫敦的兩種薄荷架都站在河邊，這使中國 - 傑無言文化對話的時刻更加生動和切實。

He noted that each entry in a medal and coin design competition shown at the exhibition reflects the passionate creativity of young people from both countries, as well as their shared aspirations for a better world.

他指出，在展覽中展出的獎牌和硬幣設計比賽中的每個參賽作品都反映了來自兩國的年輕人的熱情創造力，以及他們對更美好世界的共同願望。

The exhibit has more than 100 sets of coins and medals from the Shanghai Mint Museum's collection on display, reflecting the institution's 105-year history. Spanning across themes like heritage, innovation, and cross-cultural dialogue, the displays include pieces inspired by cultural landmarks like the Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors to modern achievements in aerospace and high-speed rail. Overall, the collection reflects more than a century of design evolution.

展覽中有100多套硬幣和上海薄荷博物館收藏的獎牌，反映了該機構105年的歷史。跨越遺產，創新和跨文化對話等主題，這些展示包括受文化地標的啟發的作品，例如長城和陶師勇士在航空航天和高速鐵路中取得現代成就。總體而言，該系列反映了一個多世紀的設計發展。

“We are pleased to present highlights from the Shanghai Mint Museum outside of China for the first time,” said Dr. Pearl Haoqing Wang, curator of COINect. “Rather than focusing solely on monetary value, this exhibition highlights coins and medals as commemorative artifacts and historical records that preserve collective memory and cultural values.”

Coinect策展人Pearl Haoqing Wang博士說：“我們很高興第一次介紹上海薄荷博物館的亮點。” “與其僅專注於貨幣價值，不如將硬幣和獎牌作為紀念偽像和歷史記錄，這些硬幣和獎牌保留了集體記憶和文化價值。”

Professor Trevor Hoey, provost of Brunel University London, highlighted the enduring influence of innovative design in his remarks at the event. He reflected on the legacy of coinage through history, noting that both ancient and modern examples demonstrate how thoughtful design can transcend time, lasting across centuries and generations.

倫敦布魯內爾大學教務長特雷弗·霍伊（Trevor Hoey）教授在活動的講話中強調了創新設計的持久影響。他反思了歷史上的造幣遺產，並指出古代和現代的例子都表明了周到的設計可以超越時間，持續了幾個世紀和世代。

According to the event introduction, several interactive elements are designed to enhance the visitor experience, including digital displays, hands-on design activities, and a public vote for the Our Water UK-China Youth Coin Design Competition, with the winning entry to be minted.

根據活動的介紹，幾個互動元素旨在增強訪客體驗，包括數字展示，動手設計活動以及對我們的Water UK-China-China Youth Coin Design競賽的公眾投票，並進行了獎項。
