Royal Mint is releasing a coin to celebrate the life and career of John Lennon.

皇家造幣廠正在發布一枚硬幣，以慶祝約翰·列儂的生活和職業。

The design of the new coin features a portrait of the singer, based on an image taken by music industry photographer Bob Gruen.

新硬幣的設計以音樂行業攝影師鮑勃·格魯恩（Bob Gruen）拍攝的圖像為基礎。

It depicts a side profile of Lennon, taken on the roof of his penthouse in New York.

它描繪了列儂（Lennon）的側面，並在他在紐約的頂層公寓的屋頂上拍攝。

Lennon’s name appears to the left of the portrait while the word “Imagine” features on the right side of the design in a reference to his single and album.

列儂的名字出現在肖像的左側，而“想像”一詞的特徵在設計的右側引用了他的單曲和專輯。

The coin is being released by the Royal Mint in the year in which Lennon would have celebrated his 85th birthday.

列儂將慶祝他的85歲生日的那一年，皇家造幣廠將發行硬幣。

Lennon is not the first to be honoured on a Royal Mint coin, with fellow Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Queen, David Bowie and Dame Shirley Bassey having one.

列儂並不是第一個在皇家薄荷硬幣上獲得榮譽的人，甲殼蟲爵士保羅·麥卡特尼爵士，皇后，大衛·鮑伊和雪莉·貝西夫人擁有一枚。

The Royal Mint has an ongoing “music legends” coin series, celebrating singers and songwriters.

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。

Coin designer Henry Gray incorporated the portrait of Lennon to feature at the centre of the design.

硬幣設計師亨利·格雷（Henry Gray）將列儂（Lennon）的肖像納入了設計中心。

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 in which the artist would have celebrated his 85th birthday.

“列儂的肖像被細緻地捕獲，在合適的致敬中將在藝術家慶祝他的85歲生日的那一年發行。

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。”

Lennon fans and coin collectors will be able to buy the coins from the Royal Mint’s website from 9am on Monday, March 17.

列儂的粉絲和硬幣收藏家將於3月17日星期一上午9點​​從皇家造幣廠的網站購買硬幣。
