英国用具有历史意义的 LGBTQ+ 硬币纪念 Pride 成立 50 周年

为庆祝英国骄傲节 50 周年，英国皇家造币厂推出了由 LGBTQ+ 活动家多米尼克·霍姆斯 (Dominique Holmes) 设计的特别 50 便士硬币。该硬币上有彩虹、进步旗帜和“抗议、可见性、团结和平等”字样，标志着 LGBTQ+ 群体首次在英国货币上得到纪念。该硬币的发行恰逢同性恋解放阵线于 1972 年在英国举办的首次官方骄傲活动 50 周年。

With Pride Month just a couple of weeks away, the Royal Mint of England has revealed a very special 50p coin created to represent Pride's 50th anniversary in the U.K. This is the first time in the country's history that it will be commemorating the LGBTQ+ community on currency.

彩虹进步 50 便士硬币 距离骄傲月仅剩几周时间，英国皇家造币厂推出了一款非常特别的 50 便士硬币，旨在纪念英国骄傲月 50 周年。这是该国历史上首次纪念 LGBTQ+货币社区。

The coin was designed by artist, writer, and LGBTQ+ activist Dominique Holmes and is emblazoned with rainbows, a Progress flag, and the words "Protest, Visibility, Unity, and Equality."

这枚硬币由艺术家、作家和 LGBTQ+ 活动家多米尼克·霍姆斯 (Dominique Holmes) 设计，上面印有彩虹、进步旗帜以及“抗议、可见性、团结和平等”字样。

"It humbles me greatly that the words that I coined for the brand, protest, visibility, unity & equality -- will be on an actual coin, opposite the Queen," Asad Shaykh, director of marketing and communications at Pride in London, said as part of the Royal Mint's official announcement. "This queer brown immigrant has come a long way, powered by hope, love, and this city. Nowhere in the world had this been possible, except the U.K. Pride in London feels very proud today."

伦敦 Pride 营销和传播总监阿萨德·谢赫 (Asad Shaykh) 表示：“我为这个品牌创造的词语——抗议、可见度、团结和平等——将出现在一枚真正的硬币上，与女王相对，这让我深感谦卑。”作为皇家造币厂官方公告的一部分。 “这个酷儿棕色移民在希望、爱和这座城市的推动下走了很长的路。在世界上任何地方都不可能做到这一点，除了伦敦的英国骄傲队今天感到非常自豪。”

The first official Pride held in the U.K. was organized by the Gay Liberation Front and took place as a parade from London's Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square on July 1, 1972.

英国首次正式举行的骄傲游行由同性恋解放阵线组织，于 1972 年 7 月 1 日从伦敦海德公园游行至特拉法加广场。

For those looking to add this coin to their collection, it won't be found in circulation: Multiple versions will instead be available for purchase later this summer. In addition to minting the new coin, The Royal Mint further showed its commitment to the community by making a financial contribution to London LGBTQ+ Community Pride.

对于那些希望将这枚硬币添加到他们的收藏中的人来说，它不会在流通中：今年夏天晚些时候将有多个版本可供购买。除了铸造新硬币之外，皇家造币厂还为伦敦 LGBTQ+ 社区骄傲活动提供财政捐助，进一步表明了其对社区的承诺。

"The 50th Anniversary of Pride U.K. is a milestone celebration, and it is a privilege to mark 50 years of progress with this 50p coin," said Clare Maclennan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint. "This is the first-ever U.K. coin dedicated to Britain's LGBTQ+ community, with color printing technology capturing the spirit of Pride U.K. with its iconic rainbow colors."

英国皇家造币厂纪念币总监克莱尔·麦克伦南 (Clare Maclennan) 表示：“英国骄傲纪念币 50 周年是一次里程碑式的庆祝活动，我们很荣幸能用这枚 50 便士硬币来纪念 50 周年的进步。” “这是第一枚致力于英国 LGBTQ+ 群体的英国硬币，其彩色印刷技术以其标志性的彩虹色捕捉了英国骄傲的精神。”
