一枚獨特的10 公斤金幣，上面印有著名海達藝術家Chief 7IDANsuu（詹姆斯·哈特）的作品，在赫菲爾美術拍賣行於2024 年11 月20 日舉行的現場拍賣會上以1,561,250 加元（含買家佣金）成交。

The sale sets a new record for the highest price ever achieved at auction for a coin in Canada, surpassing the record previously held by The Ultimate, a one-kilogram platinum coin.

此次拍賣創下了加拿大硬幣拍賣史上的最高價格紀錄，超過了先前由一公斤鉑金幣 The Ultimate 保持的紀錄。

The coin, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, is crafted from 99.99 per cent pure Canadian gold and features intricate carvings inspired by Chief Hart’s original cedar panel, The Dance Screen (The Scream Too). Its reverse depicts traditional Haida imagery, including a Shaman, Beaver, Raven, Eagle, Frog, Orca, and Mother Bear with cubs, all connected to the salmon—an essential symbol in Haida culture. The design is further enhanced with six inlays of responsibly sourced abalone shell.

這枚硬幣由加拿大皇家造幣廠生產，採用 99.99% 的純加拿大黃金精製而成，其複雜的雕刻圖案靈感源自 Chief Hart 的原創雪松板《舞幕》（The Scream Too）。它的背面描繪了傳統的海達圖像，包括薩滿、海狸、烏鴉、鷹、青蛙、逆戟鯨和帶著幼崽的熊媽媽，所有這些都與鮭魚有關，鮭魚是海達文化的重要像徵。六塊鑲嵌的負責任採購的鮑魚殼進一步增強了設計。

“We are thrilled by the collector interest in this unique coin and delighted that the skill of the Royal Canadian Mint and the talent of Chief 7IDANsuu (James Hart) have been recognized by the buyer of this rare and beautiful 10 kg pure gold masterpiece,” said Marie Lemay, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.

「我們對收藏家對這款獨特硬幣的興趣感到興奮，並很高興加拿大皇家造幣廠的技術和首席7IDANsuu（詹姆斯·哈特）的才華得到了這枚罕見而美麗的10 公斤純金傑作的買家的認可。

The coin’s obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati, framed by subtle sketch lines referencing the original carving.

硬幣的正面是國王查理三世的肖像，由加拿大藝術家史蒂文·羅薩蒂設計，周圍有參考原始雕刻的微妙草圖線。

David Heffel, president of Heffel Fine Art Auction House, highlighted the cultural and artistic significance of the piece: “The profoundly meaningful artwork by Chief James Hart, featured on this exceptional coin, reflects the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Haida Nation. This sale represents a new milestone, and we are honoured to see this masterpiece placed in a distinguished private collection.”

赫菲爾美術拍賣行總裁戴維·赫菲爾強調了這件作品的文化和藝術意義：「這枚獨特的硬幣上體現了詹姆斯·哈特酋長意義深遠的藝術作品，反映了海達民族的文化遺產和藝術傳統。這次拍賣代表著一個新的里程碑，我們很榮幸看到這件傑作被納入傑出的私人收藏。

The record-setting sale highlights the growing demand for rare numismatic pieces that combine cultural significance and artistic excellence. The anonymous buyer of the coin, which serves as the flagship of the Mint’s 2024 Opulence Collection, has added a historically and artistically significant work to their collection.

這次創紀錄的拍賣突顯了人們對結合了文化意義和藝術卓越性的稀有錢幣的需求不斷增長。這枚硬幣是造幣廠 2024 年 Opulence 系列的旗艦版，該硬幣的匿名買家為他們的收藏增添了一件具有歷史和藝術意義的作品。
