周四，所罗门群岛中央银行行长受邀来到澳大利亚皇家造币厂的工厂车间，铸造了第一枚印有查理三世国王肖像的硬币。

The official coining ceremony was an important milestone for both the Royal Australian Mint and its South Pacific neighbour, strengthening the longstanding partnership.

对于澳大利亚皇家造币厂及其南太平洋邻国来说，官方铸币仪式是一个重要的里程碑，加强了长期的合作伙伴关系。

The coin’s obverse features the King Charles III effigy designed by Daniel Thorne – the same effigy that appears on Australia’s coinage – along with the words Charles III Solomon Islands 2025.

该硬币的正面是丹尼尔·索恩 (Daniel Thorne) 设计的查理三世国王肖像（澳大利亚硬币上也出现了同样的肖像）以及“Charles III Solomon Islands 2025”（查尔斯三世所罗门群岛 2025）字样。

The reverse features the image of Nguzu Nguzu, which portrays good luck and protection, and the words One Dollar. Nguzu Nguzu has appeared on the Solomon Islands $1 coin since 2012.

背面印有代表好运和保护的 Nguzu Nguzu 图像，以及“One Dollar”字样。自 2012 年以来，Nguzu Nguzu 就出现在所罗门群岛 1 美元硬币上。

The Assistant Minister for Treasury, Andrew Leigh, said the Mint’s standing in the Pacific was to be commended.

财政部助理部长安德鲁·利 (Andrew Leigh) 表示，造币厂在太平洋地区的地位值得赞扬。

“The Solomon Islands coat of arms bears the motto ‘To Lead is to Serve’ – words that inspire people across our region,” Dr Leigh said.

“所罗门群岛国徽的座右铭是‘领导就是服务’——这句话激励着我们地区的人们，”利博士说。

“Coins are just one aspect of the strong relationship between Solomon Islands and Australia. I’m proud of the role that the Royal Australian Mint has played.

“硬币只是所罗门群岛与澳大利亚之间牢固关系的一方面。我为澳大利亚皇家造币厂发挥的作用感到自豪。

“Australia’s Mint now makes coins for multiple countries – a sign of their high standing in the international community.”

Royal Australian Mint Executive Manager Operations, Colin Dedourek, said that working with Pacific partners, such as the Solomon Islands, had long-term benefits for the Mint.

“造币厂很荣幸能够多次参与向我们的太平洋岛屿邻国提供新的流通硬币，并被信任负责像更换肖像这样具有历史意义的事情。

“Other Oceana countries to have their coinage minted in Canberra include Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea,” Mr Dedourek said.

“在堪培拉铸造硬币的其他大洋洲国家包括萨摩亚、汤加、瓦努阿图、库克群岛、东帝汶和巴布亚新几内亚，”德多雷克先生说。

Governor of the Central Bank of Solomon Islands, Dr Luke Forau, was in the Circulating Coin Hall to watch the first coins off the press.

Minting foreign currency is not only a vital operation in Australia, but to many countries in the Asia-Pacific.

铸造外币不仅是澳大利亚的一项重要业务，也是亚太地区许多国家的一项重要业务。

Over the last 10 years, producing coins for foreign countries made up 8% of the Mint’s circulating coin revenue, and 25% of the coins shipped out of the Deakin factory.

过去10年里，为国外生产硬币占造币厂流通硬币收入的8%，迪肯工厂运出的硬币占25​​%。
