這枚由本傑明富蘭克林設計的硬幣於 10 月 3 日拍賣,售價為 25,000 英鎊,相當於 32,000 多美元。
An auction house in the United Kingdom recently sold one of America's oldest coins for a hefty price.
英國一家拍賣行最近以高價出售了一枚美國最古老的硬幣。
The artifact, which was found at the bottom of a toffee tin, went under the hammer on Oct. 3. The coin was sold by Wotton Auction Rooms, an auction house based in the Cotswolds.
這件文物是在太妃糖罐的底部發現的,於 10 月 3 日被拍賣。
The coin is a Continental Currency dollar that was minted in 1776, making it one of the United States' earliest coins. It sold for 25,000 pounds – equal to over $32,000 American dollars.
該硬幣是 1776 年鑄造的大陸貨幣美元,是美國最早的硬幣之一。它的售價為 25,000 英鎊,相當於 32,000 多美元。
The outer layer of the pewter coin reads "Continental Currency 1776," and was designed by Benjamin Franklin. The center of the coin depicts the Sun and a sundial, along with the words: "Mind your business."

According to Wotton Auction Rooms' website, the coin was "forgotten about" and found in a tin with a number of other trinkets.
據沃頓拍賣行網站稱,這枚硬幣被“遺忘”,並與許多其他小飾品一起被發現在一個罐子裡。
"This example is understood to be totally fresh to the market, having been recently discovered in a local property, unearthed from an old toffee tin containing a collection of jewellery, objet d’art and curiosities, believed to have been sealed and essentially forgotten about for decades," the site describes.
據了解,這個例子對市場來說是完全新鮮的,最近在當地一處房產中被發現,是從一個舊太妃糖罐中出土的,裡面裝有一系列珠寶、藝術品和珍品,據信已被密封並基本上被遺忘了。
Auctioneer Joseph Trinder told SWNS that only 6,000 of the coins were minted at the time. He predicts that roughly one hundred 1776 Continental dollars are still around today.
拍賣師 Joseph Trinder 告訴 SWNS,當時只鑄造了 6,000 枚硬幣。他預計 1776 年大陸幣至今仍有約 100 枚。

"This coin represents a discovery that is in the top five of my career to date, and the sort of thing every auctioneer up and down the country hopes they’ll find," he remarked.
「這枚硬幣是我迄今為止職業生涯中排名前五的發現,也是全國各地拍賣師都希望能找到的東西,」他說。
The antiques specialist added that the coin was recently shipped to the United States to be authenticated. After a series of tests, experts determined that it was indeed genuine.
這位古董專家補充說,這枚硬幣最近被運往美國進行鑑定。經過專家的一系列檢測,確定確實是真品。
"It was examined by a committee of specialists and X-rayed and put through other scientific tests, and we were delighted to receive a notification to tell us that it is genuine," Trinder explained to SWNS in September.
特林德在 9 月向 SWNS 解釋道:“它經過了專家委員會的檢查、X 光檢查以及其他科學測試,我們很高興收到通知,告訴我們它是真的。”
"To think this is a coin that dates back to the year of [America's] independence, and to have it found in the U.K., is unique," he added.
「認為這是一枚可以追溯到[美國]獨立年份的硬幣,並且在英國發現它,是獨一無二的,」他補充道。
