John Lennon’s life and legacy are being celebrated with the release of a commemorative £5 coin.

約翰·列儂（John Lennon）的生活和遺產正在慶祝紀念5英鎊的硬幣。

Issued by the Royal Mint, the coin marks what would have been Lennon’s 85th birthday. He joins fellow music legends such as Sir Paul McCartney, Queen, David Bowie, and Dame Shirley Bassey in being honoured with a Royal Mint coin.

硬幣由皇家造幣廠發行，標誌著列儂的85歲生日。他加入了音樂傳奇人物，例如保羅·麥卡特尼爵士，皇后，大衛·鮑伊和雪莉·巴西夫人，以紀念皇家造幣廠。

The Royal Mint’s “music legends” coin series continues to celebrate influential singers and songwriters. Coin designer Henry Gray placed Lennon’s portrait at the heart of the design.

皇家薄荷的“音樂傳奇”硬幣系列繼續慶祝有影響力的歌手和詞曲作者。硬幣設計師亨利·格雷（Henry Gray）將列儂（Lennon）的肖像置於設計的核心。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “Arguably one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time, Lennon’s achievements as an artist, activist and advocate for peace continue to live on and will now be forever remembered on a coin.

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣總監麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）說：“可以說是有史以來最偉大的歌手和詞曲作者之一，列儂（Lennon）作為藝術家，激進主義者和和平的倡導者的成就繼續繼續下去，現在將永遠被記住。

“Lennon’s portrait has been captured in meticulous detail and in a fitting tribute will be released in the year which the artist would have celebrated his 85th birthday.

“列儂的肖像被細緻地捕捉到，這是藝術家將慶祝他的85歲生日的那一年。

“Still admired by millions of people and generations worldwide, we hope this coin and its design will be treasured for many years to come.”

“我們仍然受到全世界數百萬的人和世代的欽佩，我們希望這種硬幣及其設計將在未來的許多年中珍惜。”

The design of the £5 coin showcases a portrait of the iconic Beatles member and solo artist, which is inspired by a photograph taken by renowned music photographer Bob Gruen.

5英鎊硬幣的設計展示了標誌性甲殼蟲樂隊成員和獨奏藝術家的肖像，其靈感來自著名音樂攝影師鮑勃·格魯恩（Bob Gruen）拍攝的照片。

It captures a side profile of Lennon, snapped on the rooftop of his New York penthouse. Lennon’s name is displayed to the left of the portrait, with the word “Imagine” on the right, paying tribute to his iconic single and album.

它捕獲了列儂的旁邊，並在他的紐約頂層公寓的屋頂上搶了。列儂的名字在肖像的左側顯示，右邊的“想像”一詞，向他的標誌性單曲和專輯致敬。

£5 coins are legal tender in the UK, but they are primarily issued for commemorative purposes. While they can technically be used for transactions, they are rarely used in everyday spending.

5英鎊的硬幣在英國是法定貨幣，但主要是出於紀念目的而發行的。儘管它們在技術上可以用於交易，但它們很少用於日常支出。

Without the mintage figures, it’s difficult to predict the exact rarity of the coin, as the number of coins produced will play a significant role in determining its scarcity.

如果沒有鑄幣數字，就很難預測硬幣的確切稀有性，因為所產生的硬幣數量將在確定其稀缺性方面發揮重要作用。

However, commemorative coins like this one often vary in rarity based on factors like demand, design appeal, and the significance of the subject - in this case, John Lennon, a figure with a lasting cultural impact.

但是，像這樣的紀念硬幣通常會根據需求，設計吸引力和主題的意義等因素而在稀有性方面有所不同 - 在這種情況下，約翰·列儂（John Lennon）是具有持久文化影響的人物。

If the Royal Mint produces a limited run, the coin could potentially become more valuable over time, especially to collectors.

如果皇家造幣廠產生有限的運行，隨著時間的流逝，硬幣可能會變得更加有價值，尤其是對於收藏家而言。

Coins that commemorate notable figures, especially in the music world, can appreciate in value as they become rarer and more sought after.

紀念著名人物的硬幣，尤其是在音樂界，隨著它們變得更稀有和受到追捧，可以欣賞其價值。

The presence of colour editions and precious metals may also add to the coin’s value, with gold or silver versions typically holding higher worth than standard designs.

顏色版本和貴金屬的存在也可能增加了硬幣的價值，金色或銀色版本通常具有高於標准設計的價值。

In terms of future worth, assuming limited production and strong collector interest, the coin could appreciate modestly or significantly depending on its scarcity and how it is perceived within the broader collectible market.

就未來價值而言，假設生產有限和收藏家的興趣有限，則該硬幣可以謙虛或顯著地欣賞其稀缺性以及在更廣泛的收藏市場中如何看待它。

Commemorative coins linked to famous personalities often rise in value, but the extent of this is usually more apparent after several years or decades.

與著名人物相關的紀念硬幣通常會增加價值，但是在數年或幾十年後，通常更明顯的是。

If you’re hoping to buy it as an investment, it would be best to keep an eye on any official announcements from the Royal Mint regarding mintage numbers.

如果您希望將其作為一項投資購買，那麼最好關注Royal Mint上有關鑄幣局數字的任何正式公告。

Lennon enthusiasts and coin collectors can purchase the coins from the Royal Mint’s website starting at 9am on Monday, March 17.

列儂愛好者和硬幣收藏家可以從3月17日星期一上午9點​​開始從皇家造幣廠的網站購買硬幣。
