据加拿大皇家造币厂称，罕见的纯金币售价超过 150 万美元

这枚硬币的标题是“舞幕”（The Scream Too），向著名的海达雕刻大师酋长 7IDANsuu 的艺术致敬

A rare 10-kilogram pure gold coin has sold for more than $1.5 million at a live auction in Toronto.

一枚罕见的 10 公斤纯金币在多伦多的现场拍卖会上以超过 150 万美元的价格售出。

The coin, titled The Dance Screen (The Scream Too), pays tribute to the art of acclaimed Haida master carver Chief 7IDANsuu, also known as James Hart.

这枚硬币名为“舞幕”（The Scream Too），旨在向著名的海达雕刻大师酋长 7IDANsuu（又名詹姆斯·哈特）的艺术致敬。

The coin features the effigy of King Charles III on one side and a depiction of Haida figures on the other, including a Shaman, a Beaver, a Raven, an Eagle, a Frog, an Orca, and a Mother Bear with cubs.

硬币的一侧是国王查理三世的肖像，另一侧是海达人的肖像，包括萨满、海狸、乌鸦、老鹰、青蛙、逆戟鲸和带着幼崽的熊妈妈。

The coin also has six pieces of responsibly sourced abalone shell inlaid along its edge, which is said to evoke the shape of Haida copper shields.

这枚硬币的边缘还镶嵌了六块来源可靠的鲍鱼壳，据说这让人想起海达铜盾的形状。

The coin was sold to an anonymous bidder on November 20 and surpassed the record for a coin offered at auction in Canada, which was previously held by The Ultimate, a one-kilo pure platinum piece.

这枚硬币于 11 月 20 日被一位匿名竞标者售出，打破了加拿大拍卖硬币的纪录，此前该纪录由一公斤纯铂金 The Ultimate 保持。

“We are thrilled by the collector interest in this unique coin and delighted that the skill of the Royal Canadian Mint and the talent of Chief 7IDANsuu (James Hart) have been recognized by the buyer of this rare and beautiful 10 kg pure gold masterpiece,” said Marie Lemay, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint, in a release.

“The profoundly significant artwork by the esteemed Chief James Hart, showcased on its face, stands as an enduring icon of Canadian art, embodying the rich traditions and cultural narratives of the Haida Nation,” said David Heffel, President of Heffel Fine Art Auction House.

赫菲尔美术拍卖行总裁戴维·赫菲尔 (David Heffel) 表示：“受人尊敬的酋长詹姆斯·哈特 (James Hart) 创作的具有深远意义的艺术品是加拿大艺术的不朽标志，体现了海达族丰富的传统和文化叙事。” 。
