Eddie Lands on Legal Tender

埃迪（Eddie）登陆法定货币

Designed by the talented Albert 'Akirant' Quirantes, the coin isn't just a piece of metal; it's a mini-encyclopedia of Maiden history. According to Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, Akirant packed “little nods to virtually every chapter of our journey as a band” into the design. From album art to world tours, this coin is a treasure trove for any die-hard fan.

由才华横溢的Albert'Akirant'Quirantes设计的硬币不仅是一块金属。这是少女历史的迷你百科全书。根据Iron Maiden经理Rod Smallwood的说法，Akirant挤满了“小点头，几乎是我们作为乐队的旅程的每一章点点头”。从专辑艺术到世界巡回演唱会，这枚硬币是任何顽固迷的宝库。

“Having Eddie on an official UK coin is a continuation of his incredible odyssey since we unearthed him back in 1980,” says Smallwood. Stamps, beer bottles, plane tails, and now legal tender? Eddie’s living the high life!

“自从我们在1980年发掘出他以来，让埃迪（Eddie）加入英国官方硬币是他令人难以置信的奥德赛（Odyssey）的延续。”邮票，啤酒瓶，飞机尾巴和现在的法定招标？埃迪（Eddie）过着高昂的生活！

A Collector's Dream (and a Bank Account's Nightmare)

收藏家的梦想（和银行帐户的噩梦）

Rebecca Morgan, The Royal Mint’s director of Commemorative Coin, calls it “the perfect fusion of metal on metal.” And she’s not wrong. These aren't your average pocket-change coins. We’re talking about a range of options, from the £18.50 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin to the eye-watering £7520 2oz Gold Proof Coin. Decisions, decisions…

皇家造币厂的纪念硬币总监丽贝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）称其为“金属上金属的完美融合”。她没错。这些不是您的平均口袋变换硬币。我们谈论的是一系列选择，从18.50英镑的辉煌的未流通硬币到令人陶醉的7520英镑2盎司的金币硬币。决策，决定…

More Than Just a Coin

不仅仅是硬币

But the golden jubilee celebrations don't stop there. Maiden is currently tearing up stages on their Run For Your Lives tour, and there's a lavish visual history book and an upcoming documentary in the works. The documentary, set to hit cinemas later this year, will feature interviews with band members (past and present), famous fans like Javier Bardem and Lars Ulrich, and even the final interview with original singer Paul Di’Anno. Plus, brand new animated sequences starring Eddie himself!

但是黄金禧年的庆祝活动并不止于此。 Maiden目前正在为您的生活巡回演出而撕毁舞台，其中有一本豪华的视觉历史书籍和即将上映的纪录片。这部纪录片将于今年晚些时候上电影院，将与乐队成员（过去和现在）的采访，Javier Bardem和Lars Ulrich这样的著名歌迷进行采访，甚至是对原创歌手Paul Di'anno的最后采访。另外，由埃迪本人主演的全新动画序列！

My Two Cents (or Maybe £7520?)

我的两分钱（或7520英镑？）

Honestly, this coin is a brilliant move. It’s not just about celebrating a band’s anniversary; it’s about immortalizing a cultural icon in a way that appeals to both metalheads and collectors. The level of detail in the design, the multiple variations to suit different budgets, and the overall sense of fun make this more than just a commemorative item – it’s a piece of rock history.

老实说，这枚硬币是一个了不起的举动。这不仅仅是庆祝乐队的周年纪念日；这是关于以一种吸引金属头和收藏家的方式使文化偶像永生。设计中的细节水平，适合不同预算的多种变化以及整体乐趣的感觉不仅仅是一个纪念性的项目 - 这是一部摇滚历史。

And let's be real, who wouldn't want to pay for a pint with an Eddie-emblazoned coin? (Okay, maybe don't actually spend the £7520 gold one). While King Charles might be on the flipside, Eddie's the real royalty here.

让我们成为现实，谁不想用埃迪（Eddie）装饰的硬币为品脱付费？ （好吧，也许实际上不会花7520英镑的金色）。虽然查尔斯国王可能会在另一面，但埃迪是这里的真正皇室。

So, What’s Next?
