上海薄荷博物馆的纪念硬币和奖牌收藏的亮点将在伦敦展出

Highlights from the commemorative coin and medal collection of the Shanghai Mint Museum will be showcased in London for the first time.

上海薄荷博物馆的纪念硬币和奖牌收藏的亮点将首次在伦敦展出。

The exhibition, titled COINect, will explore Chinese culture and creativity over the past two centuries through the art of coin design. It is part of Our Water, a cultural exchange program that explores the relationship between water and urban life in Shanghai and other global cities.

该展览名为Coinect，将通过硬币设计艺术在过去两个世纪中探索中国文化和创造力。它是我们水的一部分，它是一种文化交流计划，探讨了上海和其他全球城市的水与城市生活之间的关系。

Following its launch in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics, this year’s edition turns its focus to the cultural ties between London and Shanghai, highlighting the shared heritage between the former Royal Mint in London and the Shanghai Mint – two historic sites situated along significant waterways: the River Thames in London and Suzhou Creek in Shanghai.

在2024年夏季奥运会期间在巴黎推出之后，今年的版本将其重点转移到伦敦和上海之间的文化联系上，强调了前伦敦前皇家薄荷与上海薄荷的共同遗产，这两个历史悠久的地点位于伦敦和苏格海河的泰晤士河：泰晤士河沿岸的泰晤士河。

The temporary exhibition will be open from June 8 through 14 at the former Royal Mint, located in Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. It is organized by the Shanghai Mint Museum and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China.

临时展览将于6月8日至14日在位于伦敦东端的塔小村庄的前皇家造币厂开放。它是由上海造币厂博物馆和中华人民共和国文化与旅游部组织的。

“We are pleased to present highlights from the Shanghai Mint Museum outside of China for the first time,” said Dr. Pearl Haoqing Wang, curator of COINect. “Rather than focusing on monetary value, the exhibition explores how coins and medals serve as commemorative artifacts and historical records. As physical currency becomes less central to daily life, coins increasingly preserve and reflect collective memory, cultural values, and shared histories.”

Coinect策展人Pearl Haoqing Wang博士说：“我们很高兴第一次介绍上海薄荷博物馆的亮点。” “展览不是专注于货币价值，而是探讨了硬币和奖牌如何充当纪念伪像和历史记录。随着物理货币对日常生活的关键不那么重要，硬币越来越保留并反映了集体记忆，文化价值和共同的历史。”

The 105 sets of coins and medals on display will be arranged across 12 themed cases. They focus on different elements of Chinese culture, heritage and history, spanning from ancient times to the modern era.

展出的105套硬币和奖牌将在12个主题案例中安排。他们专注于中国文化，遗产和历史的不同要素，这些要素从远古时代到现代。

The exhibition will open with a series of intricate commemorative medals created between 1998 and 2010, depicting the twelve animals of the Zodiac – the first complete set to represent the entire zodiac cycle.

展览将以1998年至2010年之间创建的一系列复杂的纪念奖牌开放，描绘了十二只十二只动物，这是代表整个十二生肖循环的第一个完整套装。

China’s cultural treasures will feature in a series of coins depicting the Great Wall of China, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors, the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, and the Forbidden City from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

中国的文化宝藏将以一系列硬币为特色，描绘了中国的长城，秦施黄的陵墓和陶氏勇士，苏州的古典花园以及明王朝和清王朝的禁忌城市。

The exhibition will also celebrate China’s unique natural heritage. Highlights include coins depicting some of the country’s rare and iconic wildlife, such as the giant panda, South China tiger, Baiji dolphin, and Yangtze alligator.

展览还将庆祝中国独特的自然遗产。亮点包括描绘该国一些罕见和标志性野生动植物的硬币，例如巨型熊猫，中国老虎，拜吉·海豚和长鳄鱼。

Another display of coins underscores China’s global cultural connections, including commemorative issues for the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics, both hosted in Beijing.

硬币的另一个展示强调了中国的全球文化联系，包括2008年夏季奥运会和2022年冬季奥运会的纪念性问题，均在北京举办。

The exhibition will feature interactive displays that demonstrate various aspects of coin production. For example, a video will showcase the minting process of the Olympic medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, offering valuable context for key technical processes. Elsewhere, a digital wishing pool will allow visitors to virtually toss a coin and make a wish, while other installations invite them to learn Chinese characters from coin designs, and create their own design for next year’s zodiac animal – the horse. 

该展览将以交互式展示为特色，展示硬币生产的各个方面。例如，视频将展示2008年北京奥运会奥运会奖章的铸造过程，为关键技术过程提供宝贵的背景。在其他地方，一个数字愿望游泳池将使游客几乎可以抛弃硬币并做出愿望，而其他装置则邀请他们从硬币设计中学习汉字，并为明年的十二生肖动物（The Horse）创建自己的设计。
