新西兰新版5元纸币获评年度最佳纸币

New Zealand's $5 note has won the prestigious Banknote of the Year award.

日前，新西兰的5元纸币获得了年度最佳纸币这一奖项。

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.

该纸币实际上是在加拿大打印的，背景主色调为橙棕色，纸币正面是登山者埃德蒙·希拉里先生的形象，背面主体则是企鹅。

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.

该奖项是由一群货币爱好者组成的国际银行纸币协会颁发的，该协会表示，这个纸币是2015年“完全的胜利者”。该五元纸币打败了来自其他国家的、同样于2015年发行的纸币。

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.

这种5元纸币是新西兰在2015年发行的一套新纸币中的一款，具有强化的安全功能，并体现了新西兰的历史和文化。

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，在参与该奖项的纸币中，被IBNS成员投票的有瑞典的20克郎，俄罗斯的100卢布，哈萨克斯坦的20000坚戈纸币以及苏格兰克莱兹代尔银行发行的5英镑纸币。

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，克莱兹代尔银行发行的5英镑纸币正面是工程师威廉·阿罗尔爵士的头像。而瑞典20克朗的正面是《长袜子皮皮》系列的作者阿斯特丽德·林德格伦的头像。
