大陆美元硬币直径为 38 毫米,由锡合金制成,由本杰明·富兰克林 (Benjamin Franklin) 设计,于 1776 年在美国铸造。
It had a limited production run, with around 6,000 believed to have been made and as few as 100 thought to remain.
它的生产量有限,据信已生产了约 6,000 辆,据信剩余数量仅有 100 辆。
The coin had to be sent to the United States to be verified due to its rarity and the number of fakes in existence, but has now sold for a whopping £25,000 at a sale by Wotton Auction Rooms in Wotton-under-Edge.
由于其稀有性和存在的赝品数量,这枚硬币必须被送往美国进行验证,但现在在沃顿安德埃奇的沃顿拍卖行以 25,000 英镑的高价售出。

“这枚硬币是我迄今为止职业生涯中排名前五的发现,也是全国各地拍卖师都希望能找到的东西,”他说。
“We discovered it in a large toffee tin a private vendor brought to us, full of all manner of interesting sorts of knick-knacks – other coins, little bits of jewellery, carved stone and fossils.
“我们在一个私人供应商给我们带来的一个大太妃糖罐里发现了它,里面装满了各种有趣的小摆设——其他硬币、小件珠宝、雕刻的石头和化石。
“We had a jolly good look through and made sure we got to the bottom of everything inside.
“我们进行了彻底的检查,并确保我们了解了里面所有东西的真相。
“There were some really interesting pieces like gold coins and some other valuable items, but languishing at the bottom of this tin of treasures we found this amazing Continental Dollar coin.”
