A coin from the Greek Mint is highlighting one of Aesop’s most famous fables, featuring the tortoise and the hare in a footrace.

希臘造幣廠的一枚硬幣突出了伊索最著名的寓言之一，其中有烏龜和兔子賽跑的故事。

The coin is the first in a series of Proof Nordic gold (aluminum-bronze) €1.5 coins that will retell the best-known and loved of the fables.

該硬幣是精製北歐金（鋁青銅）1.5 歐元系列硬幣中的第一枚，將重述最著名和最受喜愛的寓言故事。

The fable of the tortoise and the hare is credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 B.C.

龜兔賽跑的寓言出自伊索之手，他是一位生活在公元前 620 年至 564 年間古希臘的奴隸兼說故事者。

In this story, a hare kept mocking a tortoise for being slow.

在這個故事中，一隻兔子一直嘲笑烏龜行動遲緩。

One day the tortoise, tired of the hare showing off, challenged him to a race and the hare accepted. The tortoise set off, moving slowly but steadily. The hare soon left the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, took a nap midway through the race.

有一天，烏龜厭倦了兔子的炫耀，向他發起了一場賽跑挑戰，兔子接受了。烏龜出發了，緩慢而穩定地移動著。兔子很快就把烏龜甩在了後面，並充滿信心地在比賽中途小睡了一會兒。

When he awoke, however, he found that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, had arrived before him. The fable’s moral is that diligence and perseverance can trump talent when it fails to work hard.

然而，當他醒來時，他發現他的競爭對手已經緩慢而穩定地爬行到了他的面前。這個寓言的寓意是，當不努力時，勤奮和毅力可以戰勝天賦。

The 2024 coin obverse features the namesake animals crossing the finish line, and the denomination. The reverse depicts the same two animals, but in colour.

2024 年硬幣的正面印有衝過終點線的同名動物和麵額。背面描繪的是相同的兩隻動物，但顏色不同。

The coin weighs 21.9 grams and measures 40 millimeters in diameter. It has a mintage limit of 3,500 pieces and comes in a book-like printed folder.

該硬幣重 21.9 克，直徑 40 毫米。它的發行量限制為 3,500 枚，並裝在一個像書本一樣的印刷資料夾中。
