英國廣播公司報導，皇家造幣廠發行了硬幣，以慶祝列儂的生活和非凡的職業。

Its Imagine inscription on the right side of the coin is a special nod to the artist's single and album, which became a posthumous hit worldwide.

它的想像力題詞在硬幣的右側是對藝術家的單曲和專輯的特殊致敬，該專輯在全球範圍內成為了一部熱門熱門。

Lennon followed Queen, David Bowie, Shirley Bassey and Sir Paul McCartney, who were honoured on their own coin in the UK.

列儂跟隨女王，大衛·鮑伊（David Bowie），雪莉·巴西（Shirley Bassey）和保羅·麥卡特尼爵士（Sir Paul McCartney），他們在英國以自己的硬幣而受到尊敬。

As a founding member of the Beatles and also as a solo artist, Lennon has won numerous awards, including seven Grammy Awards. He has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

作為甲殼蟲樂隊的創始成員，也是獨奏藝術家，列儂贏得了許多獎項，其中包括七個格萊美獎。他還被入選搖滾名人堂，詞曲作者名人堂，並在好萊塢的名人之旅中有一顆明星。

Lennon was shot four times and killed outside his apartment in Manhattan, New York, on December 81980.

列儂於81980年12月在紐約曼哈頓的公寓外被槍殺了四次，並被殺害。

After his death, fans gathered at the nearby Strawberry Fields Memorial in Central Park for an all-day vigil, at which musicians played Lennon's songs and the crowd sang along.

他去世後，歌迷聚集在中央公園附近的草莓田紀念館，進行全天守夜活動，音樂家演奏列儂的歌曲，人群在唱歌。

His widow, Yoko Ono, is believed to place a lit candle in the window of Lennon's room in the Dakota Building every year on December 8.

據信他的遺ow洋子洋子（Yoko ono）每年12月8日在達科他州大樓的列儂房間的窗戶上放一支點燃的蠟燭。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coins at the Royal Mint, said the coin was a "fitting tribute" to the singer's 85th birthday, which is on 9 October.

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣董事麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）表示，這枚硬幣是10月9日的歌手85歲生日的“合適的致敬”。
