上海薄荷博物館的紀念硬幣和獎牌收藏的亮點將在倫敦展出

Highlights from the commemorative coin and medal collection of the Shanghai Mint Museum will be showcased in London for the first time.

上海薄荷博物館的紀念硬幣和獎牌收藏的亮點將首次在倫敦展出。

The exhibition, titled COINect, will explore Chinese culture and creativity over the past two centuries through the art of coin design. It is part of Our Water, a cultural exchange program that explores the relationship between water and urban life in Shanghai and other global cities.

該展覽名為Coinect，將通過硬幣設計藝術在過去兩個世紀中探索中國文化和創造力。它是我們水的一部分，它是一種文化交流計劃，探討了上海和其他全球城市的水與城市生活之間的關係。

Following its launch in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics, this year’s edition turns its focus to the cultural ties between London and Shanghai, highlighting the shared heritage between the former Royal Mint in London and the Shanghai Mint – two historic sites situated along significant waterways: the River Thames in London and Suzhou Creek in Shanghai.

在2024年夏季奧運會期間在巴黎推出之後，今年的版本將其重點轉移到倫敦和上海之間的文化聯繫上，強調了前倫敦前皇家薄荷與上海薄荷的共同遺產，這兩個歷史悠久的地點位於倫敦和蘇格海河的泰晤士河：泰晤士河沿岸的泰晤士河。

The temporary exhibition will be open from June 8 through 14 at the former Royal Mint, located in Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. It is organized by the Shanghai Mint Museum and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China.

臨時展覽將於6月8日至14日在位於倫敦東端的塔小村莊的前皇家造幣廠開放。它是由上海造幣廠博物館和中華人民共和國文化與旅遊部組織的。

“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 on monetary value, the exhibition explores how coins and medals serve as commemorative artifacts and historical records. As physical currency becomes less central to daily life, coins increasingly preserve and reflect collective memory, cultural values, and shared histories.”

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。” “展覽不是專注於貨幣價值，而是探討了硬幣和獎牌如何充當紀念偽像和歷史記錄。隨著物理貨幣對日常生活的關鍵不那麼重要，硬幣越來越保留並反映了集體記憶，文化價值和共同的歷史。”

The 105 sets of coins and medals on display will be arranged across 12 themed cases. They focus on different elements of Chinese culture, heritage and history, spanning from ancient times to the modern era.

展出的105套硬幣和獎牌將在12個主題案例中安排。他們專注於中國文化，遺產和歷史的不同要素，這些要素從遠古時代到現代。

The exhibition will open with a series of intricate commemorative medals created between 1998 and 2010, depicting the twelve animals of the Zodiac – the first complete set to represent the entire zodiac cycle.

展覽將以1998年至2010年之間創建的一系列複雜的紀念獎牌開放，描繪了十二隻十二隻動物，這是代表整個十二生肖循環的第一個完整套裝。

China’s cultural treasures will feature in a series of coins depicting the Great Wall of China, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors, the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, and the Forbidden City from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

中國的文化寶藏將以一系列硬幣為特色，描繪了中國的長城，秦施黃的陵墓和陶氏勇士，蘇州的古典花園以及明王朝和清王朝的禁忌城市。

The exhibition will also celebrate China’s unique natural heritage. Highlights include coins depicting some of the country’s rare and iconic wildlife, such as the giant panda, South China tiger, Baiji dolphin, and Yangtze alligator.

展覽還將慶祝中國獨特的自然遺產。亮點包括描繪該國一些罕見和標誌性野生動植物的硬幣，例如巨型熊貓，中國老虎，拜吉·海豚和長鱷魚。

Another display of coins underscores China’s global cultural connections, including commemorative issues for the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics, both hosted in Beijing.

硬幣的另一個展示強調了中國的全球文化聯繫，包括2008年夏季奧運會和2022年冬季奧運會的紀念性問題，均在北京舉辦。

The exhibition will feature interactive displays that demonstrate various aspects of coin production. For example, a video will showcase the minting process of the Olympic medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, offering valuable context for key technical processes. Elsewhere, a digital wishing pool will allow visitors to virtually toss a coin and make a wish, while other installations invite them to learn Chinese characters from coin designs, and create their own design for next year’s zodiac animal – the horse. 

該展覽將以交互式展示為特色，展示硬幣生產的各個方面。例如，視頻將展示2008年北京奧運會奧運會獎章的鑄造過程，為關鍵技術過程提供寶貴的背景。在其他地方，一個數字願望游泳池將使遊客幾乎可以拋棄硬幣並做出願望，而其他裝置則邀請他們從硬幣設計中學習漢字，並為明年的十二生肖動物（The Horse）創建自己的設計。
