2024 年美國金翅雀 $20 純銀幣

美國人出現在加拿大硬幣上的情況相當罕見，但加拿大皇家造幣廠最新的鳥類學問題提醒人們從鳥類的角度來看，身為美國人意味著什麼。

The latest coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Proof .9999 fine silver $20 Colourful Birds series features the American goldfinch, in selective color.

加拿大皇家造幣廠精製 0.9999 純銀 20 美元彩色鳥系列最新硬幣以美國金翅雀為特色，顏色可選。

The coin was issued by the RCM on June 4 and is the fourth in the series, following the 2021 blue jay, 2022 cedar waxwing, and 2023 Northern cardinal.

該硬幣由 RCM 於 6 月 4 日發行，是繼 2021 年藍鳥、2022 年雪松太平鳥和 2023 年北紅雀之後該系列的第四枚硬幣。

Each coin in the series highlights nature’s contrasting colors throughout the seasons.

系列中的每枚硬幣都凸顯了大自然四季的對比色。

The American goldfinch is easily detected on the coin by its black cap and yellow plumage, and is perched on a cluster of purple-colored aster flowers that rise up in the foreground.

美洲金翅雀在硬幣上很容易被發現，因為它有黑色的帽子和黃色的羽毛，它棲息在前景中升起的一簇紫色紫苑花上。

The male goldfinch is perched on the flowers against a backdrop of a barn and wood fence, with a gate that opens up to a dirt road in the engraved background.

雄性金翅雀棲息在花朵上，背景是穀倉和木柵欄，大門通往雕刻背景中的土路。

The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

背面由加拿大藝術家托尼·比安科 (Tony Bianco) 設計，他是一位長期的鳥類愛好者。

“I’ve been a bird watcher since I was a youth, and one of my favourites has always been the goldfinch,” said Bianco in a press release. “Their friendly nature and bold colour make them particularly enticing to an artist. Pairing the striking yellow, black and white with the soft lavender of the aster flower makes a natural and striking combination.”

「我從年輕時就一直是觀鳥者，我最喜歡的鳥之一一直是金翅雀，」比安科在一份新聞稿中說。 「它們友善的天性和大膽的色彩使它們對藝術家特別有吸引力。將引人注目的黃色、黑色和白色與紫菀花的柔和淡紫色搭配在一起，形成了自然而引人注目的組合。
