£5 crown Marking 125 Years Since the Birth of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother

价值 5 英镑的王冠纪念伊丽莎白女王（太后）诞辰 125 周年

Born at the turn of the last century, the woman who became Queen Consort in 1936 as the wife of King George VI is fondly remembered still by the British public as having provided essential support to two monarchs during her lifetime – her beloved husband, and then her eldest daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.

这位出生于上世纪之交的女性，于 1936 年成为乔治六世国王的王后，英国公众至今仍深情地记得她，因为她在一生中为两位君主提供了重要的支持：她深爱的丈夫和后来的国王。她的长女伊丽莎白二世女王。

The Queen Mother passed away in 2002, at the age of 101 and was buried in the Windsor family chapel alongside King George VI who passed away in 1952. Designed by Dan Thorne, the coin includes an element of a cameo portrait of The Queen Mother by artist Richard Guyatt, which formed part of the design on the crown coin marking her 80th birthday in 1980. Also featured are elements of Scottish thistle and English roses, which were similarly featured on the 1990 £5 coin celebrating the Queen Mother’s 90th birthday in 1990.

£2 - 现代铁路 200 年

It was on the 27th September 1825 when George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 transported hundreds of passengers in England for 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington and Stockton, County Durham. 2025 marks the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway - S&DR and the world's first passenger railway journey. This momentous journey transformed how the world traded, travelled, and communicated from thereafter.

1825 年 9 月 27 日，乔治·史蒂芬森 (George Stephenson) 的蒸汽机车 1 号在英格兰的希尔登、达灵顿和达勒姆郡斯托克顿之间运送了数百名乘客，行程 26 英里。 2025 年是斯托克顿和达灵顿铁路 (S&DR) 以及世界上第一条客运铁路旅程成立二百周年。这段重要的旅程从此改变了世界贸易、旅行和通讯的方式。

Designed by William Webb, the reverse of the commemorative UK £2 coin struck to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway captures that seminal journey in 1825. The coin also features the edge inscription ‘ACTIVE · LOCOMOTION NO 1’ in tribute to the revolutionary locomotive.

£2 - 350 Years of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich

£2 - 格林威治皇家天文台 350 周年

In 1675, the Royal Observatory became the first state-funded, purpose-built scientific institution in Britain, dedicated to improving sea navigation, cartography and timekeeping. The Royal Observatory is the historic source of the Prime Meridian of the World, 0° longitude, which marks the divide between the eastern and western hemispheres as well as the standard of all world time-keeping devices.

1675 年，皇家天文台成为英国第一个由国家资助、专门建造的科学机构，致力于改进海上导航、制图和计时。皇家天文台是世界本初子午线（0°经线）的历史源头，它标志着东半球和西半球的分界线，也是所有世界计时装置的标准。

For the next three centuries, astronomers at Greenwich observed the stars to improve navigation at sea and to define accurate time standards that became an essential part of modern travel, trade and communications. Designed by Henry Gray, the reverse design features the dial of the Shepherd Gate Clock, the constellation Ursa Minor, the star Polaris and the Prime Meridian line shown on a globe. The coin also includes the edge inscription ‘PERFECTING THE ART OF NAVIGATION’.

在接下来的三个世纪里，格林威治的天文学家通过观察星星来改善海上导航并定义准确的时间标准，这成为现代旅行、贸易和通信的重要组成部分。背面设计由亨利·格雷 (Henry Gray) 设计，饰有牧羊人门钟的表盘、小熊星座、北极星和地球仪上显示的本初子午线。该硬币还包括边缘铭文“完善航海艺术”。

50 Pence – Remembering the Stories of the Second World War

50便士——记住第二次世界大战的故事

On the 3rd September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany following its invasion of Poland. The following year, the Third Reich’s formidable war machine swept through Western Europe, but Refusing to capitulate to Nazi aggression, Britain vowed to fight on.

1939年9月3日，英国和法国在纳粹德国入侵波兰后向其宣战。次年，第三帝国强大的战争机器席卷西欧，但英国拒绝向纳粹侵略投降，并发誓要继续战斗。

Led by Britain, the US and the-then Soviet Union along with the support of the Free French, the Allies united against the Axis powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. The fighting in Europe finally ended in May 1945 with the unconditional surrender of the Third Reich and then in August, also with Japan’s unconditional surrender, formally ending what was the bloodiest conflict in history.

在英国、美国和当时的苏联的领导下，在自由法国的支持下，同盟国联合起来对抗纳粹德国、法西斯意大利和日本帝国等轴心国。欧洲的战斗最终于 1945 年 5 月随着第三帝国无条件投降而结束，随后在 8 月日本也无条件投降，正式结束了这场历史上最血腥的冲突。
