擬議的三年精製美國之鷹、自由憲章 100 美元鉑金硬幣系列設計揭曉

美國造幣廠將於 2026 年、2027 年和 2028 年發行三年期精製美國鷹、自由憲章 100 美元鉑金硬幣系列的擬議正面設計

The Treasury secretary received recommendations Oct. 17 from the Commission of Fine Arts for proposed obverse designs for a three-year Proof American Eagle, Charters of Freedom platinum $100 coin series to be issued by the United States Mint in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

財政部長於 10 月 17 日收到美術委員會關於美國鑄幣廠將於 2026 年、2027 年和 2028 年發行三年期精製美國鷹、自由憲章 100 美元鉑金系列硬幣正面設計的建議。

The recommendations came two days after the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee supported the same set of designs.

這些建議是在公民鑄幣諮詢委員會支持同一套設計兩天後提出的。

Any proposed obverse designs that receive final approval of the Treasury secretary or their designee will be paired with the common eagle reverse first introduced on the reverse of the 1-ounce .9995 fine platinum Proof American Eagle in 2018.

任何獲得財政部長或其指定人員最終批准的正面設計提案都將與 2018 年 1 盎司 0.9995 精製鉑金美國鷹幣背面首次推出的普通鷹圖案搭配。

The three-year Charters of Freedom coin series is inspired by the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

為期三年的《自由憲章》系列硬幣的靈感來自於《獨立宣言》、美國憲法和《權利法案》。

According to the U.S. Mint’s narrative for the series, designs are inspired by the National Archives Museum’s Rotunda

根據美國鑄幣廠對此系列的敘述，設計靈感來自國家檔案博物館的圓形大廳

Each of the coins will be dedicated to one of the three essential documents to the founding of the United States.

每枚硬幣都將紀念美國建國三份重要文件之一。

“This series will honor the core principles of the nation as mapped out in these charters and inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation for the documents that have guided the United States through its 250 years of history,” according to the Mint narrative. “These documents collectively define and refine a vision for the nation, one based on the consent of the governed, to form a more perfect union, and champion individual liberties to reaffirm their commitment to democratic ideals.”

根據造幣廠介紹，“該系列將尊重這些憲章中規定的國家核心原則，並激發人們對這些指導美國走過 250 年曆史的文件的更深入的理解和欣賞。” 「這些文件共同定義和完善了國家的願景，一個基於被統治者同意的願景，以形成一個更完美的聯盟，並捍衛個人自由，重申他們對民主理想的承諾。”

According to the U.S. Mint’s design team, eight artists contributed candidate designs for the 2026 platinum Proof coin honoring the Declaration of Independence, which were reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee and the Commission of Fine Arts in July 2024.

根據美國鑄幣廠設計團隊介紹，八位藝術家為紀念《獨立宣言》的 2026 年鉑金精製幣提供了候選設計，並於 2024 年 7 月接受了公民鑄幣諮詢委員會和美術委員會的審查。

Based on feedback from that review, three artists were invited to revise their 2026 designs and develop candidate designs for the second and third installments of the Charters of Freedom series to maintain continuity.

根據該審查的回饋，三位藝術家被邀請修改他們的 2026 年設計，並為《自由憲章》系列的第二部和第三部開發候選設計，以保持連續性。

The three-design set supported by both coin advisory panels “employs the symbolism of Nature to chronicle America’s journey through its founding documents. Through a carefully crafted progression of environmental motifs, it traces the transformational impact of each charter, together illustrating a living embodiment of our American democracy.”

由兩個硬幣顧問小組支持的三套設計「利用自然的象徵意義透過其建國文件記錄了美國的旅程。透過精心設計的環境主題，它追蹤了每項憲章的變革影響，共同展示了我們美國民主的生動體現。

For the 2026 design, the sun’s rays begin to emerge through storm clouds, representing the dawn of a new nation arising from the turmoil of revolution as well as the Enlightenment ideas that influenced the Declaration of Independence.

2026年的設計中，太陽的光芒開始穿越暴風雲，代表一個新國家從革命的動盪中崛起的曙光，以及影響《獨立宣言》的啟蒙思想。

“A quill symbolizing the Declaration sweeps over the landscape, marking the nation’s founding and the power of revolutionary ideas to catalyze change,” according to the Mint’s narrative. “The additional inscription DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE appears in exergue below the main design.”

根據造幣廠的敘述，“象徵《宣言》的羽毛筆掃過大地，標誌著國家的建立和革命思想催化變革的力量。” “額外的題詞《獨立宣言》出現在主設計下方的註釋中。”

For 2027, the recommended design “shows the storm clouds receding and the sunlight growing stronger, marking the nation’s transition to self-governance. In place of the quill, a young tree has taken root, representing the U.S. Constitution as a living framework in this American landscape. Its form echoes the shape of the quill, a visual reminder that this new system of government is informed by and built upon the values and ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Thirteen stars representing the thirteen colonies frame the scene. The additional inscription is U.S. CONSTITUTION.”

2027年，推薦的設計“顯示烏雲消退，陽光漸強，標誌著國家向自治過渡。”一棵小樹取代了羽毛筆，代表美國憲法作為美國景觀中的一個活框架。它的形狀與羽毛筆的形狀相呼應，從視覺上提醒人們，這個新的政府體係是基於《獨立宣言》中提出的價值觀和理想，並建立在這些價值觀和理想的基礎上的。代表十三個殖民地的十三顆星星構成了整個場景。附加的銘文是美國憲法。

For 2028, the recommended design “reveals a maturing tree, its canopy offering shelter and protection — a powerful metaphor for the rights and freedoms guaranteed to citizens in the Bill of Rights. Beneath it, a child gazes forward, representing the people whose rights are safeguarded now and the protection provided to future generations. The scene is now fully illuminated by sunlight, suggesting the powerful influence of these founding documents on our nation. Thirteen stars representing the thirteen colonies encircle the design. The additional inscription is BILL OF RIGHTS.”

2028 年，推薦的設計「展示了一棵成熟的樹，它的樹冠提供庇護和保護——這是《權利法案》中保障公民權利和自由的有力隱喻。在它的下面，一個孩子凝視著前方，代表著現在權利得到保障的人們以及為子孫後代提供的保護。現在的場景完全被陽光照亮，顯示這些建國文獻對我們國家的強大影響。代表十三個殖民地的十三顆星星環繞著圖案。附加的銘文是《權利法案》。
