新西蘭新版5元紙幣獲評年度最佳紙幣

New ZeAland's $5 note has won the prestigious banknote of the Year award.

日前，新西蘭的5元紙幣獲得了年度最佳紙幣這一獎項。

The note, which is actually printed in Canada, is an orange-brown colour with mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary on the front and a penguin on the back.

該紙幣實際上是在加拿大打印的，背景主色調爲橙棕色，紙幣正面是登山者埃德蒙·希拉里先生的形象，背面主體則是企鵝。

The International Bank Note Society (IBNS), a group of currency enthusiasts who hand out the prize, said it was a "clear winner" for the 2015 contest. The fiver beat banknotes from 20 other countries which were also released in 2015.

該獎項是由一羣貨幣愛好者組成的國際銀行紙幣協會頒發的，該協會表示，這個紙幣是2015年“完全的勝利者”。該五元紙幣打敗了來自其他國家的、同樣於2015年發行的紙幣。

The $5 was one of a set of new banknotes issued by New Zealand in 2015, with enhanced security features and reflecting New Zealand's history and culture.

這種5元紙幣是新西蘭在2015年發行的一套新紙幣中的一款，具有強化的安全功能，並體現了新西蘭的歷史和文化。

Also in the running for the prize, voted for by IBNS members, Sweden's 20 krona, Russia's 100 rouble, the 20,000 tenge note from Kazakhstan and the 5 pounds banknote issued by Scotland's Clydesdale Bank.

此外，在參與該獎項的紙幣中，被IBNS成員投票的有瑞典的20克郎，俄羅斯的100盧布，哈薩克斯坦的20000堅戈紙幣以及蘇格蘭克萊茲代爾銀行發行的5英鎊紙幣。

The Clydesdale Bank's 5 pounds note features engineer William Arrol on its front side. Sweden's 20 krona note features Astrid Lindgren, author of the Pippi Longstocking books.

其中，克萊茲代爾銀行發行的5英鎊紙幣正面是工程師威廉·阿羅爾爵士的頭像。而瑞典20克朗的正面是《長襪子皮皮》系列的作者阿斯特麗德·林德格倫的頭像。
