英國皇家鑄幣廠推出了一枚新的 5 英鎊收藏硬幣，向英國音樂傳奇人物保羅麥卡尼致敬，這標誌著這位標誌性音樂家首次出現在英國官方硬幣上。

Released as part of the 2024 UK Coin Range, the design celebrates McCartney’s enduring legacy in the music industry, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ groundbreaking arrival in the United States.

該設計作為 2024 年英國硬幣系列的一部分發行，旨在慶祝麥卡尼在音樂界的不朽遺產，同時恰逢披頭四突破性登陸美國 60 週年。

The reverse of the coin, designed by Osborne Ross, features hallmarks of McCartney’s extraordinary career, including his famed Magic Piano, his unmistakable Höfner violin bass, the Wings logo, and his signature. Hidden references to his record-breaking achievements are also embedded in the design, adding to the coin’s collectible appeal.

硬幣的反面由奧斯本·羅斯 (Osborne Ross) 設計，刻有麥卡尼非凡職業生涯的標誌，包括他著名的魔術鋼琴、明顯的霍夫納小提琴貝斯、Wings 標誌和他的簽名。設計中也隱藏了對他破紀錄成就的提及，增加了硬幣的收藏吸引力。

According to The Royal Mint, the inspiration for this unique coin extends beyond McCartney’s music. Reflecting his early days using pennies as guitar picks, The Royal Mint has gifted McCartney a special plectrum version of the coin ahead of the European leg of his world tour. This thoughtful nod highlights the artist’s journey from humble beginnings to global superstardom.

據英國皇家造幣廠稱，這款獨特硬幣的靈感不僅限於麥卡尼的音樂。皇家造幣廠在麥卡尼的歐洲巡演之前向他贈送了一枚特殊的撥片版本的硬幣，以反映他早年使用便士作為吉他撥片的經歷。這項深思熟慮的認可凸顯了這位藝術家從卑微的出身到全球巨星的歷程。

McCartney’s contributions to music have made him a household name since the 1960s. From his role in The Beatles and Wings to his acclaimed solo career and collaborations, McCartney has amassed countless accolades, including inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a knighthood for his services to music, and membership in the Order of the Companions of Honour.

麥卡尼對音樂的貢獻使他自 20 世紀 60 年代以來家喻戶曉。從他在披頭四和Wings 樂隊中的角色，到廣受好評的獨唱生涯和合作，麥卡尼獲得了無數榮譽，包括入選搖滾名人堂、因其對音樂的貢獻而被授予爵士爵位，以及成為美國同伴勳章的成員。

The new coin is available in several editions, including gold Proof, silver Proof, and two Brilliant Uncirculated editions. Collectors can also enjoy detailed packaging recounting McCartney’s remarkable career. This commemorative release was produced in partnership with MPL Communications Ltd.

新硬幣有多種版本，包括精製金幣、精製銀幣和兩個精美未流通版本。收藏家還可以享受詳細的包裝，講述麥卡尼的非凡職業生涯。該紀念版是與 MPL Communications Ltd 合作製作的。

The Royal Mint describes the coin as a tribute to “one of the United Kingdom’s finest musical artists” and an enduring symbol of Paul McCartney’s unparalleled contributions to British and global music history.

英國皇家造幣廠將這枚硬幣描述為向「英國最優秀的音樂藝術家之一」致敬，也是保羅麥卡尼對英國和全球音樂史無與倫比的貢獻的持久象徵。
