约翰·列侬（John Lennon）在特别铸造的英国硬币系列中受到尊敬，以纪念他年满85岁的那一年

硬币将于周一发售，其中包含列侬的肖像，其基于音乐行业摄影师鲍勃·格鲁恩（Bob Gruen）于1974年拍摄的著名图像。

John Lennon is being honored with a specially minted British coin collection to mark the year the Beatles great and peace advocate would have turned 85, the Royal Mint said Friday.

皇家造币厂周五表示，约翰·列侬（John Lennon）获得了特别铸造的英国硬币系列，以纪念甲壳虫乐队（Beatles）伟大的一年，和平倡导者将满85岁。

The coin, which will go on sale on Monday, features a portrait of Lennon that is based on a famous image taken by music industry photographer Bob Gruen in 1974.

硬币将于周一发售，其中包含列侬的肖像，其基于音乐行业摄影师鲍勃·格鲁恩（Bob Gruen）于1974年拍摄的著名图像。

It depicts a side profile of Lennon, taken on the roof of his penthouse in New York. Lennon was shot dead by Mark David Chapman in the city on Dec. 8, 1980 at the age of 40.

它描绘了列侬（Lennon）的侧面，并在他在纽约的顶层公寓的屋顶上拍摄。列侬于1980年12月8日在40岁时被马克·戴维·查普曼（Mark David Chapman）枪杀。

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, released in 1971, the year after the Fab Four — Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr — effectively went their own way, having left their indelible mark at the heart of the 1960s.

列侬的名字出现在肖像的左侧，而设计的右侧“想象”一词的特征是参考他的单曲和专辑，1971年发行的，即Fab Four之后的一年 - Lennon，Lennon，Paul McCartney，George Harrison和Ringo Starr，实际上走上了自己的方式，在1960年代的心中留下了自己的不可磨灭的印记。

“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,” said Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint.

“可以说，可以说是有史以来最伟大的歌手和词曲作者之一，是列侬作为艺术家，激进主义者和和平的倡导者的成就继续依靠，现在将永远在硬币上铭记。”

The Royal Mint, which has struck the coins of monarchs from Alfred the Great in the ninth century through to King Charles III, has an ongoing “music legends” coin series, celebrating singers and songwriters. Lennon follows the likes of McCartney, David Bowie, Queen, the Rolling Stones and Shirley Bassey in being honored on a Royal Mint coin.

皇家造币厂在九世纪从阿尔弗雷德大帝（Alfred the Great）到查尔斯三世（King Charles III）击中了君主的硬币，并拥有持续的“音乐传奇”硬币系列，庆祝歌手和歌曲作者。列侬（Lennon）跟随麦卡特尼（McCartney），大卫·鲍伊（David Bowie），皇后，滚石乐队和雪莉·巴西（Shirley Bassey）等人在皇家造币厂的荣誉中受到尊敬。

Lennon fans and coin collectors will be able to buy the coins from the Royal Mint’s website from Monday. They will be available in a range of precious metals, including gold, as well as different colors.

列侬的粉丝和硬币收藏家将能够从周一开始从皇家造币厂的网站购买硬币。它们将以各种贵金属（包括黄金）以及不同的颜色提供。

Prices will start at 18.50 pounds ($24) for a five-pound denominated coin up to 6,420 pounds ($8,330) for a 200-pound denominated coin.

价格为18.50磅（$ 24）的五磅重的硬币，最高6,420磅（$ 8,330）的200磅重200磅。

Though legal tender, but with the price differential, it’s unlikely — if not irrational — for anyone to use the coin to buy, say, “The White Album.”

虽然法定招标，但由于价格差异，但任何人都不太可能使用硬币购买，例如“白色专辑”。
