  • The Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar or Pilgrim half dollar was a commemorative fifty-cent coin struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1920 and 1921 to mark the 300th anniversary (tercentenary) of the arrival of the Pilgrims in North America. It was designed by Cyrus E. Dallin. Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Walsh was involved in joint federal and state efforts to mark the anniversary. He saw a reference to a proposed Maine Centennial half dollar and realized that a coin could be issued for the Pilgrim anniversary in support of the observances at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The bill moved quickly through the legislative process and became the Act of May 12, 1920. Sculptor James Earle Fraser criticized some aspects of the design, but the Treasury approved it anyway. After a promising start, sales tailed off, and tens of thousands of coins from each year were returned to the Philadelphia Mint for melting. Numismatist Q. David Bowers has cited the fact that the coins were struck in the second year as the start of a trend to force collectors to buy more than one piece in order to have a complete set. (en)
  • 朝圣者三百周年半美元(英語:Pilgrim Tercentenary half dollar)又名朝圣者半美元(英語:Pilgrim half dollar),是美国铸币局1920至1921年出产的半美元,由设计,旨在纪念朝圣者抵达北美三百周年。 看到有关缅因州百年纪念半美元授权法案的报告后,马萨诸塞州联邦众议员觉得也可以为朝圣者登陆新大陆三百周年发行纪念币,利润可以用在普利茅斯的庆祝活动上。法案很快在国会通过,并于1920年5月12日经伍德罗·威尔逊总统签字生效。 美术委员会雕塑家觉得石膏模型不尽如人意,但财政部还是批准设计方案。纪念币面世后起初销量喜人,但不久就逐渐下滑,共有十余万枚退回费城铸币局熔毁。钱币学家昆汀·戴维·鲍尔斯认为,部分朝圣者半美元在第二年才生产,开创历史上强迫收藏爱好者购买多枚硬币才能集齐套装的先例,发行商的贪婪从此一发不可收拾,钱币学界的纯真年代至此划上句点。 (zh)
