The first £1 coins featuring King Charles III entered circulation in the UK this week, marking the new reign of the British monarch.

第一批印有查理三世国王图案的 1 英镑硬币本周在英国开始流通，标志着英国君主的新统治。

According to the BBC on August 20, nearly three million coins were sent to post offices and banks.

据英国广播公司8月20日报道，近300万枚硬币被送往邮局和银行。

The coins, which feature a pair of bees on the reverse, mark the new reign and celebrate the king's love for the natural world. While coins featuring the king will now be in circulation, coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation. New sets of coins are minted in response to demand.

这些硬币的背面有一对蜜蜂，标志着新的统治并庆祝国王对自然世界的热爱。虽然国王的硬币现在将流通，但伊丽莎白二世女王的硬币将继续流通。根据需求铸造新的硬币。

"I am honored to announce that The King Charles III £1 coin is now in circulation. We know there will be excitement among collectors and the public to get this special piece of history in their coin," said Rebecca Morgan, Director of the Royal Mint.

“我很荣幸地宣布，查理三世国王 1 英镑硬币现已开始流通。我们知道，收藏家和公众会对在硬币上刻下这段特殊的历史感到兴奋不已，”皇家皇家博物馆总监丽贝卡·摩根 (Rebecca Morgan) 说道薄荷。

Bees are among the eight new designs that will appear on national coins, from 1 pence to 2 pounds. The new coin designs were unveiled in October.

蜜蜂是将出现在国家硬币上的八种新图案之一，硬币的面值从 1 便士到 2 磅不等。新的硬币设计于十月公布。

The coins will feature the flora and fauna of the country, with animals - from the capercaillie to the capercaillie - used to symbolize the importance and fragility of the natural world.

这些硬币将描绘该国的动植物群，其中的动物——从松鸡到松鸡——用来象征自然世界的重要性和脆弱性。

Morgan said she hopes the cross-faith projects will spark "important conversations about the conservation of these important species." Each coin was created with the support of the Royal Horticultural Society and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

摩根表示，她希望跨信仰项目能够引发“有关保护这些重要物种的重要对话”。每枚硬币都是在英国皇家园艺学会和英国皇家鸟类保护学会的支持下制作的。

The size and shape of the coins remain the same, which is key as coins are still widely used in vending machines, supermarket checkouts and parking meters. However, the numbers on the coins have been enlarged to help children recognize numbers and learn to count.

硬币的大小和形状保持不变，这一点很关键，因为硬币仍然广泛用于自动售货机、超市收银台和停车计时器。不过，硬币上的数字已被放大，以帮助孩子们识别数字并学习数数。

"The Royal Mint has struck coins for every British monarch since Alfred the Great," said Morgan. "While commemorative coins featuring King Charles have been in circulation, these new designs - officially known as definitives - mark the transition to everyday coins."

“自阿尔弗雷德大帝以来，皇家造币厂为每一位英国君主铸造过硬币，”摩根说。 “虽然以查尔斯国王为主题的纪念币一直在流通，但这些新设计 - 官方称为最终设计 - 标志着向日常硬币的过渡。”

The previous shield-shaped set was introduced under Queen Elizabeth II in 2008 and will continue to dominate the 29 billion coins in circulation in the UK for some time to come.

之前的盾形硬币是在 2008 年伊丽莎白二世女王执政期间推出的，并将在未来一段时间内继续主导英国流通的 290 亿枚硬币。
