這項極為罕見的發現可以追溯到 1000 年前,是由一群探測愛好者在未耕種的土地上挖掘出來的
A team of seven metal detectorists have sold the UK's richest-ever treasure hoard to the nation for a record-breaking £4.3million.
由七名金屬探測器組成的團隊以破紀錄的 430 萬英鎊向全國出售了英國有史以來最豐富的寶庫。
The extremely rare find, dating back 1,000 years, was dug up by the group of detecting enthusiasts in an unploughed field, in the Chew Valley area of north east Somerset, in January 2019.
這項極為罕見的發現可以追溯到 1000 年前,是一群探測愛好者於 2019 年 1 月在薩默塞特郡東北部 Chew Valley 地區的一塊未耕種的土地上挖掘出來的。
The 2,584 silver coins are made up of King Harold II pennies from the end of Anglo-Saxon England and William the Conqueror coins, after the 1066 Norman conquest.
這 2,584 枚銀幣由盎格魯-撒克遜英格蘭末期的哈羅德二世國王硬幣和 1066 年諾曼征服後的征服者威廉硬幣組成。
The bulk of the coins were found by detectorists Adam Staples and Lisa Grace, who are believed to have become millionaires through the sale.
大部分硬幣是由探測器亞當·斯台普斯和麗莎·格雷斯發現的,據信他們通過這次銷售成為了百萬富翁。
Meanwhile the landowner, whose identity is not being revealed, is also entitled to a life-changing 50 per cent of the proceeds, a staggering £2.15million.
同時,身份未透露的土地所有者也有權獲得改變生活的 50% 收益,即驚人的 215 萬英鎊。
Many of the coins are in mint condition and experts say they would have been a substantial amount of money at the time and belonged to an important, wealthy person who probably buried them for safekeeping.
許多硬幣都完好無損,專家表示,它們在當時可能是一筆巨款,屬於一位重要的富人,他很可能將它們埋藏起來妥善保管。
As King Harold's reign only lasted nine months, before he was famously struck in the eye by an arrow at the Battle of Hastings, coins from that period are incredibly rare.
由於哈羅德國王的統治只持續了九個月,之後他在黑斯廷斯戰役中被箭射中眼睛,因此那個時期的硬幣非常罕見。
The hoard also contains coins struck by previously-unknown moneyers.
寶庫中還包含一些以前不為人知的錢商鑄造的硬幣。
Mr Staples, 48, said of the dig in a BBC interview in 2019: 'We didn't leave the site until we thought we'd got all the coins.
48 歲的史台普斯先生在 2019 年接受 BBC 採訪時談到這次挖掘:「直到我們認為我們已經得到了所有硬幣,我們才離開現場。
'We had a massive thunder and rainstorm. We were all soaking wet by the time we finished.'
「我們遭遇了一場巨大的雷雨和暴雨。當我們完成時,我們都濕透了。
Mr Staples and Ms Grace, 47, had been training five friends on how to use metal detectors when they made the discovery.
史台普斯先生和 47 歲的葛蕾絲女士發現這一情況時,正在訓練五位朋友如何使用金屬探測器。
The other finders will also receive a share of the proceeds, probably in the tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds.
其他發現者也將獲得收益的一部分,可能是數萬或數十萬英鎊。
The hoard is the highest value treasure on record, beating the famous Staffordshire Hoard from 2009 - the biggest collection of buried coins and artefacts discovered in Britain - which was worth £3.3million.
該寶藏是有史以來價值最高的寶藏,擊敗了 2009 年著名的斯塔福德郡寶藏——英國發現的最大的埋藏硬幣和文物收藏——價值 330 萬英鎊。
The Chew Valley Hoard, which was reported under the Treasure Act (1996), has been acquired by the South West Heritage Trust after they received a £4.42million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund also covering display costs.
根據《寶藏法》(1996 年)報告,Chew Valley Hoard 已被西南遺產信託基金收購,該基金會從國家彩票遺產基金獲得了 442 萬英鎊的贈款,該贈款還涵蓋了展示費用。
This was boosted by £150,000 from Art Fund, and smaller grants from the Friends of The Museum of Somerset and the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society.
藝術基金會提供了 15 萬英鎊,薩默塞特博物館之友和薩默塞特考古與自然歷史協會提供了小額贈款,這也推動了這項計畫的發展。
The hoard will go on display at the British Museum on November 26 and will then tour several museums before the Museum of Somerset becomes its permanent home.
該寶藏將於 11 月 26 日在大英博物館展出,隨後將在薩默塞特博物館成為其永久所在地之前在多個博物館巡迴展出。
