Icon: The Royal Mint is launching a series of commemorative coins celebrating John LennonThe Royal Mint says the release coincides with what would have been Lennon’s 85th birthday. The coins feature a portrait of Lennon, which is based on a photo taken by Bob Gruen.

圖標：皇家造幣廠正在推出一系列紀念硬幣，慶祝約翰·列儂皇家造幣廠說，該發行版與列儂的85歲生日相吻合。硬幣具有列儂的肖像，該肖像是基於鮑勃·格魯恩（Bob Gruen）拍攝的照片。

During his career, with the Beatles and as a solo artist, Lennon won seven Grammy awards and is widely considered one of the most successful and talented musicians of his generation.

在他的職業生涯中，列儂（Lennon）與甲殼蟲樂隊（Beatles）和獨奏藝術家一起贏得了7項格萊美獎，並被普遍認為是他這一代最成功，最有才華的音樂家之一。

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 continues to live on and will now be forever remembered on a coin.

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣的董事麗貝卡·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，列儂作為藝術家，激進主義者和和平的倡導者的成就繼續繼續生活，現在將永遠被銘記在於硬幣。

‘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 coins are available to purchase now from the Royal Mint website.

該硬幣現在可以從皇家薄荷網站購買。

These aren't the first commemorative coins based on musical legends that the Royal Mint has released, with some of the UK's most iconic artists including fellow Beatles band-made Paul McCartney having been immortalised in coin form.

這些不是皇家造幣廠發行的音樂傳奇的第一批紀念硬幣，其中包括英國一些最具標誌性的藝術家，包括甲殼蟲樂隊樂隊製作的保羅·麥卡特尼（Paul McCartney），以硬幣形式永生化。

The majority of the Mint's 'musical legend' ranges have sold out, with coins celebrating the likes of Elton John, Queen, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones all no longer available.

造幣廠的大部分“音樂傳奇”範圍已經售罄，硬幣慶祝Elton John，Queen，David Bowie和Rolling Stones等人不再可用。

This being the case, is it possible these coins will be increasing in value now that they are off the market and if so, perhaps budding magpie investors should look to get their hands on the newest Royal Mint launch.

這種情況是，這些硬幣現在不在市場上，如果是這樣，也許是嶄露頭角的喜p投資者應該希望獲得最新的皇家薄荷發射。

Dan Hatfield, resident This is Money expert valuer, said: 'The Royal Mint are synonymous with quality and millions have turned to them for investment purposes for hundreds of the years, as Britain's oldest business it is one of the most trusted institutions in the world. I believe the products they produce represent quality and although you are paying a premium, for example the gold one ounce coin is 40 per cent above the spot price, the designs, the craftsmanship and the limited number mean that they are highly sought after and collected around the world. From my long exposure to their offerings, they will increase in value. If I were to purchase one I would always go for the gold ones and buy one as heavy as my disposable income would permit me.'

居民丹·哈特菲爾德（Dan Hatfield）是貨幣專家估價師說：“皇家造幣廠是質量的代名詞，數百萬美元用於投資目的數百年，作為英國最古老的企業，它是世界上最值得信賴的機構之一。我相信它們產生的產品代表了質量，儘管您要支付溢價，例如，黃金一盎司硬幣比現貨價格，設計，工藝和有限的數量高40％，這意味著它們在世界範圍內受到了極大的追捧和收集。從我長期接觸他們的產品，它們的價值將增加。如果我要購買一個，我總是會去買金子，然後購買像我的可支配收入一樣沉重的人。”

Gold has gained some 40 per cent since January last year, and has risen more than two per cent this week alone.

自去年1月以來，黃金已上漲了約40％，僅本週就增加了2％以上。

'As world economies struggle investors and central banks continue to purchase gold meaning that prices will most likely continue to rise for the rest of this decade,' Hatfield said.

哈特菲爾德說：“隨著世界經濟的掙扎，投資者和中央銀行繼續購買黃金，這意味著在這十年的剩餘時間裡，價格很可能會繼續上漲。”

Meanwhile, Phil Mussell, coin expert and author of Spend it? Save it? told This is Money: 'The series was first released in 2020 and the precious metal versions of these coins have certainly held their value well. Gold, for example, has increased from £1,500 per ounce to £2,300 an ounce since then. Will it continue to go up and up? If I knew that I'd be a very rich man indeed.

同時，菲爾·穆塞爾（Phil Mussell），硬幣專家，《支出》的作者？保存嗎？告訴這是金錢：'該系列首次於2020年發行，這些硬幣的貴金屬版本肯定具有很好的價值。例如，黃金已從每盎司1,500英鎊增加到每盎司2300英鎊。它會繼續上升嗎？如果我知道我確實是一個非常有錢的人。

'The music legends series has a mass appeal away from numismatics, but the artists featured are very eclectic so not every coin will appeal to every collector. Personally, while I like the Beatles, I was never much of a Lennon as a solo artist fan, if I were buying any of them I'd probably go for artists I play regularly, maybe Queen or Bowie, even The Police. I'm an 80s boy at heart.'

'音樂傳奇系列具有眾多的吸引力，遠離錢幣學，但演出的藝術家非常折衷，因此並不是每個硬幣都會吸引每個收藏家。就我個人而言，雖然我喜歡甲殼蟲樂隊，但我從來都不是列儂（Lennon）作為獨奏藝術家的球迷，如果我買了其中的任何一個，我可能會去找我經常扮演的藝術家，也許是女王或鮑伊，甚至是警察。我是一個80年代的男孩。
