希腊造币厂推出的精制北欧金币（铝青铜）1.5 欧元系列硬币中的第一枚硬币将重述最著名和最受喜爱的寓言故事，让人想起乌龟和兔子的寓言。

A coin from the Greek Mint is highlighting one of Aesop’s most famous fables, featuring the tortoise and the hare in a footrace.

希腊造币厂的一枚硬币突出了伊索最著名的寓言之一，其中有乌龟和兔子赛跑的故事。

The coin is the first in a series of Proof Nordic gold (aluminum-bronze) €1.5 coins that will retell the best-known and loved of the fables.

该硬币是精制北欧金（铝青铜）1.5 欧元系列硬币中的第一枚，将重述最著名和最受喜爱的寓言故事。

The fable of the tortoise and the hare is credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 B.C.

龟兔赛跑的寓言源自公元前 620 年至 564 年间生活在古希腊的奴隶兼讲故事者伊索 (Aesop)。

In this story, a hare kept mocking a tortoise for being slow.

在这个故事中，一只兔子一直嘲笑乌龟行动迟缓。

One day the tortoise, tired of the hare showing off, challenged him to a race and the hare accepted. The tortoise set off, moving slowly but steadily. The hare soon left the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, took a nap midway through the race.

有一天，乌龟厌倦了兔子的炫耀，向他发起了一场赛跑挑战，兔子接受了。乌龟出发了，缓慢而稳定地移动着。兔子很快就把乌龟甩在了后面，并充满信心地在比赛中途小睡了一会儿。

When he awoke, however, he found that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, had arrived before him. The fable’s moral is that diligence and perseverance can trump talent when it fails to work hard.

然而，当他醒来时，他发现他的竞争对手已经缓慢而稳定地爬行到了他的面前。这则寓言的寓意是，当不努力时，勤奋和毅力可以战胜天赋。

The 2024 coin obverse features the namesake animals crossing the finish line, and the denomination. The reverse depicts the same two animals, but in colour.

2024 年硬币正面印有冲过终点线的同名动物和面额。背面描绘的是相同的两只动物，但颜色不同。

The coin weighs 21.9 grams and measures 40 millimeters in diameter. It has a mintage limit of 3,500 pieces and comes in a book-like printed folder.
