2024 年美国金翅雀 20 美元纯银币

美国人出现在加拿大硬币上的情况相当罕见，但加拿大皇家造币厂最新的鸟类学问题提醒人们从鸟类的角度来看，作为美国人意味着什么。

The latest coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Proof .9999 fine silver $20 Colourful Birds series features the American goldfinch, in selective color.

加拿大皇家造币厂精制 0.9999 纯银 20 美元彩色鸟系列最新硬币以美国金翅雀为特色，颜色可选。

The coin was issued by the RCM on June 4 and is the fourth in the series, following the 2021 blue jay, 2022 cedar waxwing, and 2023 Northern cardinal.

该硬币由 RCM 于 6 月 4 日发行，是继 2021 年蓝鸟、2022 年雪松太平鸟和 2023 年北红雀之后该系列的第四枚硬币。

Each coin in the series highlights nature’s contrasting colors throughout the seasons.

该系列中的每枚硬币都凸显了大自然四季的对比色。

The American goldfinch is easily detected on the coin by its black cap and yellow plumage, and is perched on a cluster of purple-colored aster flowers that rise up in the foreground.

美洲金翅雀在硬币上很容易被发现，因为它有黑色的帽子和黄色的羽毛，它栖息在前景中升起的一簇紫色紫苑花上。

The male goldfinch is perched on the flowers against a backdrop of a barn and wood fence, with a gate that opens up to a dirt road in the engraved background.

雄性金翅雀栖息在花朵上，背景是谷仓和木栅栏，大门通向雕刻背景中的土路。

The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

正面是加拿大艺术家史蒂文·罗萨蒂 (Steven Rosati) 创作的国王查理三世的肖像。

The reverse was designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, who is a longtime bird enthusiast.

背面由加拿大艺术家托尼·比安科 (Tony Bianco) 设计，他是一位长期的鸟类爱好者。

“I’ve been a bird watcher since I was a youth, and one of my favourites has always been the goldfinch,” said Bianco in a press release. “Their friendly nature and bold colour make them particularly enticing to an artist. Pairing the striking yellow, black and white with the soft lavender of the aster flower makes a natural and striking combination.”

“我从年轻时起就一直是观鸟者，我最喜欢的鸟之一一直是金翅雀，”比安科在一份新闻稿中说。 “它们友好的天性和大胆的色彩使它们对艺术家特别有吸引力。将引人注目的黄色、黑​​色和白色与紫菀花的柔和淡紫色搭配在一起，形成了自然而引人注目的组合。”

The coin weighs 31.39 grams, measures 38 millimeters in diameter, and has a mintage limit of 7,500 pieces.
