皇家薄荷發行紀念約翰·列儂硬幣

它描繪了約翰的側面，在他在紐約的頂層公寓的屋頂上拍攝。

British coin collectors will be able to buy a coin commemorating the life and career of the late Beatles star John Lennon from Monday.

英國硬幣收藏家將能夠購買一枚硬幣，以紀念已故甲殼蟲樂隊明星約翰·列儂（John Lennon）的生活和職業。

The coin is being released by the Royal Mint in the year of what would have been John’s 85th birthday.

硬幣是由皇家造幣廠在約翰誕辰85週年的那一年釋放的。

The design features a portrait of the singer, based on an image taken by music industry photographer Bob Gruen. It depicts a side profile of John, taken on the roof of his penthouse in New York, with his name to the left of the portrait while the word “Imagine” features on the right side of the design in a reference to his iconic single and album.

該設計以音樂界攝影師鮑勃·格魯恩（Bob Gruen）拍攝的圖像為基礎，其中包括歌手的肖像。它描繪了約翰的側面輪廓，在紐約的頂層公寓的屋頂上佔據了他的名字，在肖像的左側，而“想像”一詞在設計的右側特徵，以參考他的標誌性單曲和專輯。

Coin designer Henry Gray incorporated the portrait of John to feature at the centre of the design. John, who died at the age of 40 in 1980, follows fellow Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Queen, David Bowie and Dame Shirley Bassey in being honoured on a Royal Mint coin. The Royal Mint has an ongoing “music legends” coin series, celebrating singers and songwriters.

硬幣設計師亨利·格雷（Henry Gray）將約翰的肖像納入了設計的中心。約翰（John）於1980年去世，享年40歲，跟隨甲殼蟲爵士保羅·麥卡特尼爵士（Sir Paul McCartney），女王，大衛·鮑伊（David Bowie）和雪莉·巴西（Shirley Bassey）夫人（Dame Shirley Bassey）在皇家造幣廠的榮譽中受到尊敬。皇家造幣廠有一個持續的“音樂傳奇”硬幣系列，慶祝歌手和詞曲作者。

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

“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，將在這一年中發行。仍然受到全球數百萬的人和代表的欽佩，我們希望這種硬幣及其設計將在未來很多年才能珍視。”

John's fans and coin collectors will be able to buy the coins from the Royal Mint’s website from 9am on Monday March 17. Prices will start at £18.50 and they will be available in a range of precious metals, including colour editions, the Mint said.

薄荷說，約翰的粉絲和硬幣收藏家將能夠從3月17日星期一上午9點​​從皇家造幣廠的網站購買硬幣。價格將以18.50英鎊起價，它們將以一系列貴金屬的價格購買，包括顏色版本。

The Beatles recently won a Grammy for best rock performance for the song 'Now And Then', which was finished decades after it was recorded. The remastered track was sourced from a Lennon demo recorded in the 1970s.

甲殼蟲樂隊最近贏得了格萊美獎的最佳搖滾表演，以“當下然後”贏得了最佳搖滾表演，該歌曲在錄製後數十年結束。重新製作的曲目來自1970年代記錄的列儂演示。

John's son Sean picked up the gong on behalf of the group and said: "The world can’t afford to forget about people like The Beatles, we need this music in the world, we need peace and love and we need the magic of the 60s to stay alive.”

約翰的兒子肖恩（Sean）代表該小組撿起了鑼，說：“世界無力忘記像甲殼蟲樂隊這樣的人，我們需要世界上的這種音樂，我們需要和平與愛，我們需要60年代的魔力才能活著。”

In December, the Royal Mint unveiled a coin collection celebrating Paul McCartney's career, with his iconic and psychedelic Magic Piano as well as several references to his record-breaking career - including piano notes personally chosen by him, a Höfner Violin Bass guitar and the Wings logo.

12月，皇家造幣廠以他的標誌性和迷幻的魔術鋼琴以及幾項提及他的創紀錄的職業，包括他親自選擇的鋼琴筆記，霍夫納小提琴貝司吉他和wings徽標，以他的標誌性和迷幻的魔術鋼琴以及幾種提及。

The design was officially approved by The Beatles legend and marks the first time he has appeared on an official UK coin. The £5 coin collection is available in a range of finishes, as well as coloured editions which brings the Magic Piano to life for fans.

該設計得到了甲殼蟲樂隊的正式批准，並標誌著他第一次出現在英國官方硬幣上。 5英鎊的硬幣收藏品可在各種飾面上獲得，以及為粉絲帶來魔術鋼琴的彩色版本。

About the coin collection, Paul McCartney said "This feels like a huge honour. It’s not anything I would have ever expected to happen when I was a kid."

關於硬幣收藏，保羅·麥卡特尼（Paul McCartney）說：“這感覺就像是一項巨大的榮譽。我小時候我不會期望發生任何事情。”
