新版 2 英鎊硬幣慶祝現代鐵路的誕生，英國皇家造幣廠下週將發行五枚新硬幣

當皇家造幣廠下週發行五枚新硬幣時，自豪的喬爾迪人無疑會渴望獲得收藏品，因為其中包括對我們當地鐵路先驅的慶祝活動。

Five new coins will be released by The Royal Mint next week, including one celebrating Geordie railway pioneers.

英國皇家造幣廠將於下週發行五枚新硬幣，其中包括一枚紀念喬迪鐵路先驅的硬幣。

The British coin-maker creates a commemorative set of coins each year and among the newly-minted additions for 2025 is one with a special link to Newcastle. First images of the new coins, which include the introduction of a £5 coin and new 50p designs, reveal a £2 coin with a design featuring the Locomotion No. 1.

這家英國硬幣製造商每年都會製作一套紀念幣，2025 年新鑄造的硬幣中就有一枚與紐卡斯爾有特殊聯繫。新硬幣的第一張圖片包括推出 5 英鎊硬幣和新的 50 便士設計，並展示了帶有 Locomotion No. 1 設計的 2 英鎊硬幣。

This - the first steam locomotive to pull a passenger-carrying train - was built in the city in 1825 by George Stephenson, who was dubbed 'the father of railways', and his son Robert for the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The S&DR will be celebrating its 200-year anniversary in 2025, with a nine-month programme of events being planned.

這是第一輛牽引載客列車的蒸汽機車，由被譽為「鐵路之父」的喬治·史蒂芬森(George Stephenson) 和他的兒子羅伯特(Robert) 於1825 年在斯托克頓和達靈頓鐵路在該市建造。 S&DR 將於 2025 年慶祝其成立 200 週年，並計劃進行為期 9 個月的活動。

And now the new £2 coin will help mark the occasion in style, celebrating the birth of the modern railway. It features in the commemorative set alongside another £2 coin, which features the Royal Observatory in London which next year hits its 350-year milestone, and, as previously reported, a £5 coin designed to celebrate the life and legacy of the Queen Mother.

現在，新的 2 英鎊硬幣將以時尚的方式紀念這一時刻，慶祝現代鐵路的誕生。它與另一枚2 英鎊硬幣一起出現在紀念套中，後者的圖案是倫敦皇家天文台，明年將迎來其350 週年的里程碑；正如之前報導的那樣，還有一枚5 英鎊硬幣，旨在慶祝女王母親的一生和遺產。

There are also two 50p coins; one designed to celebrate the 60-year anniversary of the first Red Arrows display and the other to commemorate those who played a vital role in the Second World War. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint, said the special selection for 2025 has been "highly anticipated" by collectors.

還有兩枚50便士的硬幣；一個是為了慶祝第一次紅箭表演 60 週年，另一個是為了紀念那些在第二次世界大戰中發揮重要作用的人。英國皇家造幣廠紀念幣總監麗貝卡·摩根 (Rebecca Morgan) 表示，2025 年的特別選擇受到了收藏家的「高度期待」。

She added: "Each coin has been meticulously designed and crafted to serve as a permanent reminder of these moments in British history and can be treasured for generations.” The set, with prices starting from £39.50, will be available from January 2 on The Royal Mint website and during the year also will be made available individually.

她補充說：“每一枚硬幣都經過精心設計和製作，可以永久提醒人們英國歷史上的這些時刻，可以世代珍藏。”該套裝的售價為 39.50 英鎊起，將於 1 月 2 日起在皇家造幣廠網站上發售，年內還將單獨發售。
