Latvijas Banka正在发行银币“太阳和风”。

From the small Līva fishing village, Liepāja has grown into the third largest city in Latvia and is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, artist Krišs Salmanis has created a coin that combines the city's contrasts, symbolically reflecting them in the images of the Sun and the Wind. In their balance, the soul of the city is formed.

Liepāja从小丽瓦渔村（LīvaFishing Village）开始，已经成长为拉脱维亚的第三大城市，并庆祝其今年成立400周年。为了纪念这一场合，艺术家克里斯·萨尔曼尼斯（KrišsSalmanis）创造了一枚硬币，将城市的对比结合在一起，象征性地反映了它们的阳光和风。在他们的平衡中，这座城市的灵魂形成了。

On the coin release day, 17 June, everyone is invited to visit the Liepāja Museum, where the city administration and representatives of Latvijas Banka will present the new coin. The artist will talk about the creation of the coin, and it will be on display on a special stand. The event will take place at Kūrmājas prospekts 16/18, Liepāja, at 17.00.

在6月17日的硬币发行日，每个人都被邀请参观Liepāja博物馆，Latvijas Banka的城市政府和代表将介绍新硬币。艺术家将谈论硬币的创作，并在特殊的摊位上展出。该活动将于17.00举行在莱帕贾（Liepāja）的Kūrmājasprospekts 16/18举行。

In the coin dedicated to Liepāja, the artist has depicted elements of the largest city in Kurzeme. Buildings line up on the obverse: from the cramped cabin of a fishing boat to the wide rooftops of the 17th century, through elegant Art Nouveau streets, past striking modern buildings and proud industrial relics. Finally, the gaze ascends the church towers' spires, reaching Liepāja's vast sky where the Wind sets the tone. Like an eternal street musician, it plays the weather vanes and whispers through people's souls.

在专门针对Liepāja的硬币中，这位艺术家描绘了库兹姆最大的城市的要素。建筑物在正面上排队：从渔船的狭窄小屋到17世纪的宽阔屋顶，到典雅的Nouveau街道，过去令人震惊的现代建筑和骄傲的工业文物。最后，目光登上了教堂塔楼的尖顶，到达了莱帕贾（Liepāja）的宽敞天空，风在那儿扎根。就像一个永恒的街头音乐家一样，它在人们的灵魂中演奏天气和窃窃私语。

On the reverse of the coin, soaking it all in, is the Sun – the main listener of the Wind's ballads. It only takes a short walk to go from the city's heart to the spacious beach. There, the centuries melt together like sand in your sandals and strands of hair drift over the water's surface, weaving with the glow of the afternoon sun.

在硬币的背面，将其全部浸泡，是太阳 - 风民谣的主要听众。从城市的心到宽敞的海滩只需步行一小段路即可。在那里，几个世纪以凉鞋中的沙子和一束头发在水面上漂移，融化在一起，并随着午后的阳光闪耀。

The artist addresses several issues in the coin. So where does Liepāja's strength lie? In its paradoxes? Or in the layers of its history? Can one side of a coin exist without the other? Here, opposites do not clash – they live in harmony. And in the tension between them, Liepāja carves out its own, unmistakable character.

艺术家解决了硬币中的几个问题。那么Liepāja的力量在哪里？在悖论中？还是它的历史层次？硬币的一侧可以没有另一侧吗？在这里，对立不冲突 - 他们生活在和谐中。在他们之间的紧张关系中，莱帕贾（Liepāja）雕刻出了自己的毫无疑问的性格。
