Latvijas Banka正在發行銀幣“太陽和風”。

From the small Līva fishing village, Liepāja has grown into the third largest city in Latvia and is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, artist Krišs Salmanis has created a coin that combines the city's contrasts, symbolically reflecting them in the images of the Sun and the Wind. In their balance, the soul of the city is formed.

Liepāja從小麗瓦漁村（LīvaFishing Village）開始，已經成長為拉脫維亞的第三大城市，並慶祝其今年成立400週年。為了紀念這一場合，藝術家克里斯·薩爾曼尼斯（KrišsSalmanis）創造了一枚硬幣，將城市的對比結合在一起，象徵性地反映了它們的陽光和風。在他們的平衡中，這座城市的靈魂形成了。

On the coin release day, 17 June, everyone is invited to visit the Liepāja Museum, where the city administration and representatives of Latvijas Banka will present the new coin. The artist will talk about the creation of the coin, and it will be on display on a special stand. The event will take place at Kūrmājas prospekts 16/18, Liepāja, at 17.00.

在6月17日的硬幣發行日，每個人都被邀請參觀Liepāja博物館，Latvijas Banka的城市政府和代表將介紹新硬幣。藝術家將談論硬幣的創作，並在特殊的攤位上展出。該活動將於17.00舉行在萊帕賈（Liepāja）的Kūrmājasprospekts 16/18舉行。

In the coin dedicated to Liepāja, the artist has depicted elements of the largest city in Kurzeme. Buildings line up on the obverse: from the cramped cabin of a fishing boat to the wide rooftops of the 17th century, through elegant Art Nouveau streets, past striking modern buildings and proud industrial relics. Finally, the gaze ascends the church towers' spires, reaching Liepāja's vast sky where the Wind sets the tone. Like an eternal street musician, it plays the weather vanes and whispers through people's souls.

在專門針對Liepāja的硬幣中，這位藝術家描繪了庫茲姆最大的城市的要素。建築物在正面上排隊：從漁船的狹窄小屋到17世紀的寬闊屋頂，到典雅的Nouveau街道，過去令人震驚的現代建築和驕傲的工業文物。最後，目光登上了教堂塔樓的尖頂，到達了萊帕賈（Liepāja）的寬敞天空，風在那兒紮根。就像一個永恆的街頭音樂家一樣，它在人們的靈魂中演奏天氣和竊竊私語。

On the reverse of the coin, soaking it all in, is the Sun – the main listener of the Wind's ballads. It only takes a short walk to go from the city's heart to the spacious beach. There, the centuries melt together like sand in your sandals and strands of hair drift over the water's surface, weaving with the glow of the afternoon sun.

在硬幣的背面，將其全部浸泡，是太陽 - 風民謠的主要聽眾。從城市的心到寬敞的海灘只需步行一小段路即可。在那裡，幾個世紀以涼鞋中的沙子和一束頭髮在水面上漂移，融化在一起，並隨著午後的陽光閃耀。

The artist addresses several issues in the coin. So where does Liepāja's strength lie? In its paradoxes? Or in the layers of its history? Can one side of a coin exist without the other? Here, opposites do not clash – they live in harmony. And in the tension between them, Liepāja carves out its own, unmistakable character.

藝術家解決了硬幣中的幾個問題。那麼Liepāja的力量在哪裡？在悖論中？還是它的歷史層次？硬幣的一側可以沒有另一側嗎？在這裡，對立不衝突 - 他們生活在和諧中。在他們之間的緊張關係中，萊帕賈（Liepāja）雕刻出了自己的毫無疑問的性格。
