一位德國居民在挖一個游泳池時發掘了一堆中世紀的硬幣

一個西南德國城鎮的居民正在進行建設項目，該項目發現了公元1320年左右的中世紀硬幣。

A resident of a southwest German town was working on a construction project when he unearthed a stash of medieval coins that were minted around 1320 AD, according to a statement from the State Office for Monument Preservation from the Stuttgart regional council.

斯圖特加特地區委員會的一份聲明說，西南德國城鎮的居民正在從1320年大約1320年造成的中世紀硬幣藏起來，當時他正在從事建設項目。

While laying down underground piping near a swimming pool, Völker, a resident of German municipality Glottertal, found “small metal plates” in the earth as he was beginning his work.

在游泳池附近放下地下管道時，德國市政府居民的居民Völker在他開始工作時在地球上發現了“小金屬板”。

On the same day, archaeologists descended on the site and quickly uncovered roughly 1,000 coins. The next day, rain turned the soil into knee-deep mud, but the archaeologists armed themselves with metal detectors and still recovered approximately 600 additional metal coins.

同一天，考古學家降落在現場，迅速發現了大約1,000枚硬幣。第二天，雨水將土壤變成了膝蓋深的泥漿，但是考古學家用金屬探測器武裝了自己，但仍恢復了大約600個金屬硬幣。

Most of the coins are from the Breisach, Zofingen, and Freiburg mints, all created sometime around 1320 AD. The collection also includes isolated coins minted in Basel, St. Gallen, Zurich, Laufenburg, and Colmar.

大多數硬幣來自Breisach，Zofingen和Freiburg Mints，它們都在公元1320年的某個時候創作。該系列還包括在巴塞爾，聖加倫，蘇黎世，勞芬堡和科爾馬的孤立硬幣。

Just how valuable was the collection at the time they were presumably lost in the German soil? “You could have bought about 150 sheep with the coins,”

當時的收藏大概在德國土壤中丟失了多麼有價值？ “您可能已經用硬幣買了大約150只綿羊。”

The experts credit Völker’s attentiveness in the “discovery of one of the most extensive medieval coin treasures of the last few decades.” Without it, the coins would still just be a bunch of junk in the dirt.

專家認為，Völker對“發現了過去幾十年中最廣泛的中世紀硬幣珍寶之一”的關注。沒有它，硬幣仍然只是泥土中的一堆垃圾。

The region the coins were found may hold additional hidden secrets based on the site’s past. “Glottertal has been one of the most important mining areas for the dukes of Freiburg,”

發現硬幣的區域可能會根據該網站的過去保存其他隱藏的秘密。 “ Glottertal一直是Freiburg公爵的最重要的採礦區之一，”

In 2016, in nearby Switzerland, more than 200 coins from the 1300s were discovered by chance by a mushroom picker in a forest near Zurich.

2016年，在附近的瑞士，在蘇黎世附近的森林中，一名蘑菇採摘者偶然發現了200多個1300年代的硬幣。

Those coins were only enough to buy 25 sheep, however. These finds, along with others in the region, help tell a historic tale, sometimes of political instability or payments for mercenary armies.

但是，這些硬幣只能購買25隻羊。這些發現與該地區的其他人一起，有助於講述一個歷史性的故事，有時是政治不穩定或僱傭軍的付款。

Not only does the newfound coin stockpile give a jolt of excitement to the region and offer up a new trove to investigate, but it could lead to deeper understanding of the region at the time. “The evaluation of this coin treasure will enable statements to be made about the coin circulation in Breisgau, the minting activity in the mints, the silver trade, but also about the mining in the Glottertal,” Haasis-Berner said.

新發現的硬幣儲備不僅給該地區帶來了興奮的震撼，並提供了新的調查，而且還可能導致對當時該地區的更深入了解。 Haasis-Berner說：“對這種硬幣寶藏的評估將使您可以就Breisgau的硬幣循環，造幣廠的造幣活動，銀貿易的造幣活動，以及關於Glottertal中的採礦作品做出的陳述。”
