中国长城硬币

现在，2025 年精制 0.9999 美元 20 美元的纯银硬币上以真实比例的三维彩色再现了著名的世界奇迹

A true-to-scale, three-dimensional colorful representation of the Great Wall of China is now available on a 2025 Proof .9999 fine silver $20 coin from the Cook Islands.

库克群岛 2025 年精制 0.9999 美元 20 美元纯银硬币现采用真实比例、三维彩色的中国长城图案。

The coin, which blends Proof manufacturing with an Ultra High Relief finish and coloring, a combination of features only available through the company’s Smartminting technology (the name is a registered trademark), is being issued by CIT.

该硬币由 CIT 发行，将精制制造与超高浮雕饰面和着色相结合，这些功能只有通过该公司的 Smartminting 技术（该名称是注册商标）才能实现。

The reverse features the representation of the Great Wall of China, to its right a depiction of the same section of the Wall in low relief; Chinese inscriptions, and the GREAT WALL of CHINA 2025.

背面是中国长城的图案，右侧是同一部分长城的浅浮雕图案；中国铭文和中国长城 2025。

The obverse shows the Chinese Lù symbol for wealth and a partially gilded cash coin with two dragons on it. As the ruler of weather and water, the dragon was thought to bring bountiful harvests and thus the wealth everyone craves.

正面显示中国财富的“Lù”符号和部分镀金的现金硬币，上面有两条龙。作为天气和水的统治者，龙被认为会带来丰收，从而带来每个人都渴望的财富。

Unlike its classical predecessors, the cash coin image on the 2025 coin has no characters.

与经典的前辈不同，2025 年硬币上的现金硬币图像没有字符。

Further obverse inscriptions detail the $20 denomination, king’s name and issuing country, and the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III.

正面铭文详细介绍了 20 美元的面值、国王的名字和发行国，以及国王查理三世的丹·索恩 (Dan Thorne) 肖像。

The Great Wall of China spans 21,196 kilometers, and no structure in China fires the imagination more than the Great Wall. It represents both the efficient organization of the Chinese Empire and its isolation.

中国的长城全长21,196公里，中国没有任何建筑比长城更能激发人们的想象力。它既代表了中华帝国的高效组织，又代表了它的孤立。

For many years, outside travelers were only allowed to enter the Middle Kingdom in exceptional circumstances. The Great Wall was not just a military fortification. Most importantly, it was a customs barrier. Anyone passing through had to pay taxes on their goods as they entered and left the empire.

多年来，外国游客只有在特殊情况下才被允许进入中国。长城不仅仅是军事防御工事。最重要的是，这是一个关税壁垒。任何经过此地的人在进出帝国时都必须为其货物纳税。

This aligns with the nation’s thinking. According to CIT, Confucianism considered wealth to be one of the great goals in life.

这与国民的想法是一致的。根据 CIT 的说法，儒家思想认为财富是人生的伟大目标之一。
