查理三世国王统治时期的第一批正式硬币已开始流通，硬币上装饰有英国蜜蜂，以向国王对环境保护的热情致敬。

Nearly three million of the new designs will be making their way into people’s pockets and tills across the country this week, via Post Offices and banks throughout the UK.

本周，近三百万件新设计将通过英国各地的邮局和银行进入全国各地人们的口袋和收银台。

The £1 coin depicts a pair of British bees on the “tails” side, in honour of the King’s passion for conservation and the natural world, and Charles’ official coin effigy on the obverse or “heads”.

1英镑硬币的“尾巴”一侧描绘了一对英国蜜蜂，以纪念国王对保护和自然世界的热情，而正面或“头部”则描绘了查尔斯的官方硬币肖像。

A total of 2.975 million £1 coins are being issued to banks and Post Offices, and they will co-circulate alongside ones displaying the effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which will be replaced over time as they become damaged or worn.

总共向银行和邮局发行了 297.5 万英镑的硬币，它们将与展示已故女王伊丽莎白二世肖像的硬币一起流通，随着时间的推移，如果损坏或磨损，这些硬币将被更换。

The £1 coin is one of eight designs ranging from the 1p to the £2, inspired by flora and fauna to reflect the King's commitment to the environment, which were created as new definitives – standardised designs seen on the majority of official currency.

1 英镑硬币是从 1 便士到 2 英镑的八种设计之一，其灵感来自动植物群，反映了国王对环境的承诺，这些设计是作为新的定义——大多数官方货币上看到的标准化设计而创建的。

Following commemorative coins bearing the King’s portrait, the first Charles III definitive – the 50p depicting an Atlantic salmon – was released in November 2023.

继印有国王肖像的纪念币之后，第一枚查理三世最终版硬币——描绘大西洋鲑鱼的 50 便士硬币——于 2023 年 11 月发行。

The number indicating the value of the coin has also been enlarged to help children with their counting skills.
