During his career, with the Beatles and as a solo artist, Lennon won seven Grammy awards and is widely considered one of the most successful and talented musicians of his generation.

在他的职业生涯中，列侬（Lennon）与甲壳虫乐队（Beatles）和独奏艺术家一起赢得了7项格莱美奖，并被普遍认为是他这一代最成功，最有才华的音乐家之一。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint, said: ‘Arguably one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time, Lennon’s achievements as an artist, activist and advocate for peace continues to live on and will now be forever remembered on a coin.

皇家造币厂纪念硬币的董事丽贝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）说：“可以说是有史以来最伟大的歌手和词曲作者之一，列侬作为艺术家，激进主义者和和平的倡导者的成就继续继续生活，现在将永远被铭记在于硬币。

‘Still admired by millions of people and generations worldwide, we hope this coin and its design will be treasured for many years to come.’

``我们仍然受到全世界数百万的人和世代的钦佩，我们希望这种硬币及其设计将在未来的许多年中珍惜。''

The coins are available to purchase now from the Royal Mint website.

该硬币现在可以从皇家薄荷网站购买。

These aren't the first commemorative coins based on musical legends that the Royal Mint has released, with some of the UK's most iconic artists including fellow Beatles band-made Paul McCartney having been immortalised in coin form.

这些不是皇家造币厂发行的音乐传奇的第一批纪念硬币，其中包括英国一些最具标志性的艺术家，包括甲壳虫乐队乐队制作的保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney），以硬币形式永生化。

The majority of the Mint's 'musical legend' ranges have sold out, with coins celebrating the likes of Elton John, Queen, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones all no longer available.

造币厂的大部分“音乐传奇”范围已经售罄，硬币庆祝Elton John，Queen，David Bowie和Rolling Stones等人不再可用。

This being the case, is it possible these coins will be increasing in value now that they are off the market and if so, perhaps budding magpie investors should look to get their hands on the newest Royal Mint launch.

这种情况是，这些硬币现在不在市场上，如果是这样，也许是崭露头角的喜p投资者应该希望获得最新的皇家薄荷发射。

Dan Hatfield, resident This is Money expert valuer, said: 'The Royal Mint are synonymous with quality and millions have turned to them for investment purposes for hundreds of the years, as Britain's oldest business it is one of the most trusted institutions in the world. I believe the products they produce represent quality and although you are paying a premium, for example the gold one ounce coin is 40 per cent above the spot price, the designs, the craftsmanship and the limited number mean that they are highly sought after and collected around the world. From my long exposure to their offerings, they will increase in value. If I were to purchase one I would always go for the gold ones and buy one as heavy as my disposable income would permit me.'

居民丹·哈特菲尔德（Dan Hatfield）是货币专家估价师说：“皇家造币厂是质量的代名词，数百万美元用于投资目的数百年，作为英国最古老的企业，它是世界上最值得信赖的机构之一。我相信它们产生的产品代表了质量，尽管您要支付溢价，例如，黄金一盎司硬币比现货价格，设计，工艺和有限的数量高40％，这意味着它们在世界范围内受到了极大的追捧和收集。从我长期接触他们的产品，它们的价值将增加。如果我要购买一个，我总是会去买金子，然后购买像我的可支配收入一样沉重的人。”

Gold has gained some 40 per cent since January last year, and has risen more than two per cent this week alone.

自去年1月以来，黄金已上涨了约40％，仅本周就增加了2％以上。

'As world economies struggle investors and central banks continue to purchase gold meaning that prices will most likely continue to rise for the rest of this decade,' Hatfield said.

哈特菲尔德说：“随着世界经济的挣扎，投资者和中央银行继续购买黄金，这意味着在这十年的剩余时间里，价格很可能会继续上涨。”

Meanwhile, Phil Mussell, coin expert and author of Spend it? Save it? told This is Money: 'The series was first released in 2020 and the precious metal versions of these coins have certainly held their value well. Gold, for example, has increased from £1,500 per ounce to £2,300 an ounce since then. Will it continue to go up and up? If I knew that I'd be a very rich man indeed.

同时，菲尔·穆塞尔（Phil Mussell），硬币专家，《支出》的作者？保存吗？告诉这是金钱：'该系列首次于2020年发行，这些硬币的贵金属版本肯定具有很好的价值。例如，黄金已从每盎司1,500英镑增加到每盎司2300英镑。它会继续上升吗？如果我知道我确实是一个非常有钱的人。

'The music legends series has a mass appeal away from numismatics, but the artists featured are very eclectic so not every coin will appeal to every collector. Personally, while I like the Beatles, I was never much of a Lennon as a solo artist fan, if I were buying any of them I'd probably go for artists I play regularly, maybe Queen or Bowie, even The Police. I'm an 80s boy at heart.'

'音乐传奇系列具有众多的吸引力，远离钱币学，但演出的艺术家非常折衷，因此并不是每个硬币都会吸引每个收藏家。就我个人而言，虽然我喜欢甲壳虫乐队，但我从来都不是列侬（Lennon）作为独奏艺术家的球迷，如果我买了其中的任何一个，我可能会去找我经常扮演的艺术家，也许是女王或鲍伊，甚至是警察。我是一个80年代的男孩。
