加拿大皇家造币厂以新的 Toonie 纪念加拿大皇家空军 (RCAF) 服役一百周年。

The Mint unveiled the coin at 17 Wing, Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg on Wednesday.

周三，造币厂在温尼伯加拿大军事基地 17 Wing 揭幕了这枚硬币。

"100 years is a long time," said Marie LeMay, president and CEO of the Mint. "Yes, they are veterans and military personnel, but they're also all either parents, grandparents, friends, so they touch so many people in Canada.

“100 年是一段很长的时间，”造币厂总裁兼首席执行官玛丽·勒梅 (Marie LeMay) 说。 “是的，他们是退伍军人和军人，但他们也都是父母、祖父母、朋友，所以他们感动了加拿大很多人。

"To have the opportunity to have a piece of history passed down from generation to generation, from coast to coast to coast, I think it's a really important moment to be able to come and commemorate."

“有机会让一段历史代代相传，从一个海岸到另一个海岸，我认为这是一个非常重要的时刻，能够来纪念。”

LeMay said the Mint worked closely with the RCAF to help design the coin. In its inner core, in colour, is the CC-130 Hercules. Eight current and historic planes surround the core, including the CT-114 Tutor, the CSR-123 Otter, the CF-188 Hornet and the CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

LeMay 表示，造币厂与 RCAF 密切合作，帮助设计硬币。其彩色内核是 CC-130 Hercules。核心周围有八架当前和历史飞机，包括 CT-114 Tutor、CSR-123 Otter、CF-188 Hornet 和 CH-146 Griffon 直升机。

"It has to be something that represents, that speaks to the partners that we're working with," LeMay said. "So this was really important for the RCAF that we came up with that design."

“它必须能够代表与我们合作的合作伙伴，”勒梅说。 “因此，我们提出的设计对于加拿大皇家空军来说非常重要。”

The coins entered circulation on Wednesday, and are also available for purchase at the Mint.

这些硬币于周三开始流通，也可以在造币厂购买。

This is the second commemorative coin issued by the Mint this year. A third coin will be released in November.

这是今年造币厂发行的第二枚纪念币。第三枚硬币将于 11 月发行。
