Nearly 100 years ago, a Danish butter magnate left behind a 20-thousand-piece collection of coins, notes and medals.

近 100 年前，一位丹麥黃油大亨留下了 2 萬枚硬幣、紙幣和獎章收藏。

In his will, Lars Emil Bruun ordered the collection remain hidden for 100 years, to be used only if Denmark’s national coin collection was ever destroyed.

拉爾斯·埃米爾·布魯恩 (Lars Emil Bruun) 在遺囑中下令將這些藏品隱藏 100 年，只有在丹麥國家硬幣收藏被毀時才使用。

After a century, if the country remained safe, the collection could be sold to benefit his descendants.

一個世紀後，如果國家依然安全，這些收藏品就可以出售，造福他的子孫。

Now, the wait is over.

現在，等待結束了。

After eight hours of bidding, the first set of coins from Bruun’s collection was sold for 16-point-five-million-dollars.

經過八小時的競標，布魯恩收藏的第一套硬幣以十六分五百萬美元的價格成交。

With more auctions to come, this collection is set to become the most expensive international coin collection ever sold.

隨著更多拍賣會的到來，該收藏品將成為有史以來售出的最昂貴的國際硬幣收藏品。

The auction house handling the sale, has described it as the most valuable collection of world coins to ever hit the market.
