加拿大皇家鑄幣廠推出以瀕危豹紋蛙為主題的新加幣

作為標本套裝的一部分，加拿大皇家造幣廠製作了一枚新的 1 美元硬幣，希望提高人們對野生動物保護和物種恢復工作的認識

The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a brand new loonie featuring one of Canada's most endangered species: the leopard frog.

加拿大皇家鑄幣廠推出了一款全新加元，其圖案是加拿大最瀕危的物種之一：豹紋蛙。

As part of the Specimen Set, the Royal Canadian Mint crafted a new $1 coin in hopes of raising awareness for wildlife conservation and species recovery efforts in Canada.

作為標本套裝的一部分，加拿大皇家造幣廠製作了一枚新的 1 美元硬幣，希望提高加拿大對野生動物保護和物種恢復工作的認識。

For 2024, the set's specimen dollar, made up of three-ply brass-plated steel, calls attention to the plight of the endangered population of northern leopard frogs in British Columbia.

2024 年，該套裝的紀念幣由三層鍍黃銅鋼製成，呼籲人們關注不列顛哥倫比亞省瀕臨滅絕的北方豹蛙種群的困境。

The reverse of the new Canadian coin includes the design of the leopard frog, created by artist Julius Csotonyi. Its depiction of a northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens) shows the amphibian partially submerged in its wetland habitat, where it rests on aquatic vegetation.

新加拿大硬幣的反麵包括由藝術家朱利葉斯·喬托尼 (Julius Csotonyi) 創作的豹紋青蛙圖案。它對北方豹蛙（Lithobates pipiens）的描繪顯示，這種兩棲動物部分淹沒在濕地棲息地中，並依靠水生植物休息。

"This portrayal underscores both the importance of preserving both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems necessary for the survival of the northern leopard frog and also how fragile it is, as its weight barely registers on the vegetation on which it rests," Csotonyi said.

喬托尼說：「這個描述強調了保護北方豹蛙生存所必需的陸地和水生生態系統的重要性，也強調了它的脆弱性，因為它的重量幾乎無法反映在它所棲息的植被上。 」

The front of the new coin has the effigy of King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati, making this the first specimen set to feature the new monarch.

新硬幣的正面有加拿大藝術家史蒂文·羅薩蒂 (Steven Rosati) 創作的國王查理三世 (King Charles III) 的肖像，這是第一套以新君主為主題的標本。

According to the Mint, the new Canadian coin has a mintage limited to 30,000 coins.

據造幣廠稱，新版加拿大硬幣的發行量僅限於 30,000 枚。

While the specimen set face value is less than $4, it will cost you slightly more to get your hands on it. The set can be purchased on the Royal Canadian Mint website for $64.95.

雖然樣品套裝面值不到 4 美元，但獲得它的成本會稍高一些。該套裝可在加拿大皇家造幣廠網站上購買，售價為 64.95 美元。

The set comes in book-style packaging, with a removable lens that allows for easy viewing of your coins. The specimen dollar is exclusive to the set and is not available for individual purchase.

此套裝採用書本式包裝，配有可拆卸鏡頭，可輕鬆查看您的硬幣。樣品美元是套裝獨有的，不可單獨購買。
