皇家鑄幣廠推出紀念幣紀念國家美術館成立二百週年

In recognition of the esteemed National Gallery's 200th anniversary, the Royal Mint has unveiled a commemorative £2 coin. Designed by the renowned Edwina Ellis, the coin serves as a testament to the gallery's enduring legacy and the profound impact of artistic brilliance throughout history.

為了紀念受人尊敬的國家美術館成立 200 週年，皇家造幣廠推出了一枚 2 英鎊紀念幣。這枚硬幣由著名的 Edwina Ellis 設計，證明了畫廊的不朽遺產和藝術才華在整個歷史中的深遠影響。

Depicting the iconic facade of the National Gallery in London's Trafalgar Square, the coin showcases the grandeur of its Corinthian columns. Encircling the intricate numismatic representation is the Latin inscription "Maiorvm Gloria Posteris Lvmen Est," which translates to "the glory of our ancestors is a light to our descendants." This phrase, emblazoned on the ceiling of the Gallery's Wilkins Building, underscores the profound connection between the great artists of the past and their enduring influence on contemporary creativity.

這枚硬幣描繪了倫敦特拉法加廣場國家美術館的標誌性外觀，展示了其科林斯柱式的宏偉。複雜的錢幣圖案周圍是拉丁文銘文“Maiorvm Gloria Posteris Lvmen Est”，翻譯過來就是“我們祖先的榮耀是我們後代的光明”。這句話印在畫廊威爾金斯大樓的天花板上，強調了過去偉大的藝術家之間的深刻聯繫以及他們對當代創造力的持久影響。

"We are honored to partner with the National Gallery in celebrating their bicentennial," said Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin at the Royal Mint. "This coin is a fitting tribute to the gallery's unparalleled collection of world-class paintings and unwavering commitment to preserving artistic brilliance. We hope that numismatists and art enthusiasts alike will cherish this miniature masterpiece for generations to come."

英國皇家造幣廠紀念幣總監麗貝卡·摩根 (Rebecca Morgan) 表示：“我們很榮幸與國家美術館合作慶祝其二百週年紀念。” “這枚硬幣是對畫廊無與倫比的世界級繪畫收藏以及對保存藝術輝煌的堅定承諾的適當致敬。我們希望錢幣學家和藝術愛好者能夠為子孫後代珍惜這件微型傑作。”

In addition to its historical significance, the commemorative coin also holds special significance as it will be included in a time capsule organized by the National Gallery as part of its NG200 celebrations.

除了其歷史意義外，該紀念幣還具有特殊意義，因為它將被放入國家美術館組織的時間膠囊中，作為 NG200 慶祝活動的一部分。

Collectors can acquire the £2 commemorative coin in a range of formats, including gold, silver, and brilliant uncirculated, available for purchase through the Royal Mint's website. Prices commence at £13, offering an accessible opportunity to possess a piece of this artistic and historical legacy.

收藏家可以購買多種規格的 2 英鎊紀念幣，包括金幣、銀幣和未流通的明亮式硬幣，可透過皇家造幣廠網站購買。起價為 13 英鎊，為擁有這項藝術和歷史遺產提供了一個便捷的機會。

The coin's release follows its inclusion in the Royal Mint's 2024 annual sets and is now available for individual purchase, further broadening its reach among coin enthusiasts and art collectors worldwide.

該硬幣在被納入英國皇家造幣廠 2024 年年度套裝後發行，現在可供個人購買，進一步擴大了其在全球硬幣愛好者和藝術收藏家中的影響力。
