一枚加拿大硬幣剛剛獲得了一項享有盛譽的獎項，但將其添加到您的收藏中將花費相當多的錢。

加拿大皇家造幣廠透露，其 2023 年純銀幣——和平寓言榮獲今年「年度硬幣獎」中最鼓舞人心的類別。

The annual awards program pits global industry peers against each other for recognition of excellence in coin design and manufacturing.

該年度獎項計劃讓全球業界同行相互競爭，以表彰硬幣設計和製造方面的卓越表現。

“It is rewarding that our work in crafting a coin designed to appeal visually as well as emotionally is being recognized with a new Coin of the Year award,” said Marie Lemay, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint, in a news release.

加拿大皇家造幣廠總裁兼執行長瑪麗·勒梅(Marie Lemay) 在一份新聞稿中表示：「我們在製作一枚既具有視覺吸引力又具有情感吸引力的硬幣方面所做的工作獲得了新的年度硬幣獎的認可，這是值得的。

“This award demonstrates the power of our innovation to inspire –a goal that drives us to find new ways to inspire people to enjoy our coins and appreciate the important stories they have to tell.”

“這個獎項展示了我們創新的激勵力量——這一目標促使我們尋找新的方法來激勵人們享受我們的硬幣並欣賞他們所講述的重要故事。”

The stunning coin was designed by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya. The allegorical figure of Peace represents Canada’s longstanding commitment to peace.

這枚令人驚嘆的硬幣是由藝術家麗貝卡·亞諾夫斯卡婭 (Rebecca Yanovskaya) 設計的。和平的寓言形象代表了加拿大對和平的長期承諾。

On the coin’s reverse is a three-dimensional sculpture of a winged figure of Peace suspended within its outer ring.

硬幣的背面是一個三維雕塑，其外圈內懸掛著一個帶翅膀的和平雕像。

“The absence of a field surrounding the image of Peace has allowed the miniature sculpture to be viewed from both the sides of the coin,” according to the Mint.

據造幣廠稱，「和平圖像周圍沒有區域，因此可以從硬幣的兩面觀看微型雕塑」。

Cast in pure silver and plated with gold, Peace is framed by olive branches as she stands atop the world with her wings slightly curled over protectively.

和平以純銀鑄造，鍍金，周圍環繞著橄欖枝，她站在世界之巔，翅膀微微捲曲以提供保護。

She wears a crown of maple leaves and cradles a globe in one hand and an olive wreath in the other.

她頭戴楓葉王冠，一手捧著地球儀，另一手捧著橄欖花環。

The allegory is surrounded by an outer ring made of pure silver with an antique finish. It features a motif composed of doves carrying an arrangement of olive and maple leaf branches.

這個寓言被一個純銀製成的外環包圍著，並具有古董般的飾面。它的圖案由攜帶橄欖葉和楓葉枝的鴿子組成。

That motif repeats on the obverse side, which features a rear view of the cast figure.

該圖案在正面重複出現，正面是演員的後視圖。
