加拿大皇家鑄幣廠發行 2 美元流通紀念 RCAF 成立 100 週年（CNW 集團/加拿大皇家鑄幣廠 (RCM)）

Designed by Canadian illustrator Pui Yan Fung, the reverse (or tails) side of the coin features stylized depictions of aircraft flown by RCAF personnel past and present.

硬幣的反面（或反面）由加拿大插畫家 Pui Yan Fung 設計，以風格化的方式描繪了過去和現在皇家空軍人員駕駛的飛機。

According to the Mint, the inner core features the RCAF roundel above a Model H of the CC-130 Hercules, which has been the mainstay of the RCAF transport fleet for over 60 years. The upward angle of the Hercules is a nod to the RCAF motto, Sic itur ad astra (“Such is the pathway to the stars”).

據造幣廠稱，內芯的特點是皇家空軍圓形標誌位於 CC-130 Hercules 的 H 型上方，該型飛機 60 多年來一直是皇家空軍運輸機隊的中流砥柱。大力士的向上角度是對 RCAF 座右銘 Sic itur ad astra（“這就是通往星星的道路”）的致敬。

The double dates “1924 2024” appear beneath the soaring CC-130H. Eight current and historical RCAF aircraft appear on the outer ring, from top to bottom: the Finch Mk. II, CSR-123 Otter, F-86 Sabre Mk. 6 and CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5 on the left side; and on the right, the CT-114 Tutor, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet and CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

雙日期“1924 2024”出現在翱翔的 CC-130H 下方。外環上出現了八架當前和歷史上的皇家空軍飛機，從上到下：Finch Mk. II、CSR-123 水獺、F-86 軍刀 Mk. II 6 和 CF-100 加納克 Mk.6 5個在左側；右邊是 CT-114 Tutor、CC-115 Buffalo、CF-188 Hornet 和 CH-146 Griffon 直升機。

“As Canadians go about their day, they will soon carry with them a reminder of the iconic aircraft that have carried our aviators past and present over the last century. Like a new coin, the future of Your Air Force is bright,” said Lieutenant General Eric Kenny, commander of the RCAF, in a statement.

「當加拿大人度過一天時，他們很快就會隨身攜帶這架標誌性的飛機，這些飛機在上個世紀載著我們的飛行員過去和現在。就像一枚新硬幣一樣，你們空軍的未來是光明的。

The obverse of the toonie (or the head side) features Steven Rosati’s design of the effigy of King Charles III.

圖尼的正面（或正面）採用史蒂文·羅薩蒂 (Steven Rosati) 設計的查理三世國王肖像。
