加纳发行钛合金 UFO 硬币

出售该硬币的分销商 Talisman Coins 如此描述由 0.9909 纯钛制成的“有趣但极其实惠的 UFO 硬币”。

The UFO coin is made of .9909 fine titanium, according to distributor Talisman Coins, which offers the coin for sale.

据提供该硬币销售的经销商 Talisman Coins 称，该 UFO 硬币由 0.9909 纯钛制成。

The “intriguing yet extremely affordable” coin is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, struck on 31.1-gram, 40-millimeter rounds.

这枚“有趣但价格极其实惠”的硬币处于未流通状态，采用 31.1 克、40 毫米的圆形铸造。

While not rare, titanium is an uncommon metal for coinage. It is generally considered a “space age metal,” since it is the same chemical element from which jet airplanes are built.

钛虽然并不稀有，但却是一种不常见的造币金属。它通常被认为是“太空时代金属”，因为它与制造喷气式飞机的化学元素相同。

Titanium is both an element and a wonder of nature. Harder than steel yet far lighter in weight, it makes sense that jet fighter airframes would be made from titanium.

钛既是一种元素，又是大自然的奇迹。钛比钢坚硬，但重量却轻得多，因此喷气式战斗机机身由钛制成是有道理的。

It’s hard to find, hard to mine, hard to refine — and very hard to mint using conventional coin presses, precisely because it is so very hard.

它很难找到、很难开采、很难精炼，而且很难使用传统的硬币压铸机来铸造，正是因为它非常坚硬。

Titanium has chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties superior to most metals for many purposes, from human joint replacement to flight.

钛的化学、机械和电化学性能优于大多数金属，适用于从人体关节置换到飞行等多种用途。

The reverse shows a flying saucer hovering over North America, its tractor beam aimed directly at Washington, D.C. The legends UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT and I WANT TO BELIEVE indicate the theme.

背面展示了一个飞碟盘旋在北美上空，它的牵引光束直接瞄准华盛顿特区，图例“不明飞行物”和“我想相信”表明了主题。

The obverse features an effigy of King Charles III (artist unidentified), in profile facing left. The legend CHARLES III, the date of issue and denomination also appear, while the legend TI .990 1 OZ verifies the metal’s weight and purity.

正面是查理三世国王的肖像（艺术家身份不明），侧面朝左。还出现了 CHARLES III 的图例、发行日期和面额，而 TI .990 1 OZ 的图例则验证了金属的重量和纯度。

The coin is encapsulated inside a presentation case, and a full color certificate of authenticity is included.

该硬币封装在一个展示盒内，并附有全彩真品证书。

The coin has a mintage limit of 1,500 pieces and retails for $44.95, with quantity discounts available.

该硬币的发行量为 1,500 枚，零售价为 44.95 美元，可享受数量折扣。
