加拿大皇家鑄幣廠以新的 Toonie 紀念加拿大皇家空軍 (RCAF) 服役一百週年。

The Mint unveiled the coin at 17 Wing, Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg on Wednesday.

週三，造幣廠在溫尼伯加拿大軍事基地 17 Wing 揭幕了這枚硬幣。

"100 years is a long time," said Marie LeMay, president and CEO of the Mint. "Yes, they are veterans and military personnel, but they're also all either parents, grandparents, friends, so they touch so many people in Canada.

「100 年是一段很長的時間，」造幣廠總裁兼執行長瑪麗·勒梅 (Marie LeMay) 說。 「是的，他們是退伍軍人和軍人，但他們也都是父母、祖父母、朋友，所以他們感動了加拿大很多人。

"To have the opportunity to have a piece of history passed down from generation to generation, from coast to coast to coast, I think it's a really important moment to be able to come and commemorate."

“有機會讓一段歷史代代相傳，從一個海岸到另一個海岸，我認為這是一個非常重要的時刻，能夠來紀念。”

LeMay said the Mint worked closely with the RCAF to help design the coin. In its inner core, in colour, is the CC-130 Hercules. Eight current and historic planes surround the core, including the CT-114 Tutor, the CSR-123 Otter, the CF-188 Hornet and the CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

LeMay 表示，造幣廠與 RCAF 密切合作，幫助設計硬幣。其彩色內核為 CC-130 Hercules。核心周圍有八架當前和歷史飛機，包括 CT-114 Tutor、CSR-123 Otter、CF-188 Hornet 和 CH-146 Griffon 直升機。

"It has to be something that represents, that speaks to the partners that we're working with," LeMay said. "So this was really important for the RCAF that we came up with that design."

「它必須能夠代表與我們合作的合作夥伴，」勒梅說。 “因此，我們提出的設計對於加拿大皇家空軍來說非常重要。”

The coins entered circulation on Wednesday, and are also available for purchase at the Mint.

這些硬幣於週三開始流通，也可以在造幣廠購買。

This is the second commemorative coin issued by the Mint this year. A third coin will be released in November.

這是今年造幣廠發行的第二枚紀念幣。第三枚硬幣將於 11 月發行。
