The Delaware Tercentenary half dollar (also known as the Swedish Delaware half dollar) is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first successful European settlement in Delaware. The obverse features the Swedish ship Kalmar Nyckel, which brought early settlers to Delaware, and the reverse depicts Old Swedes Church, claimed to be the oldest Protestant church in the United States still in use as a place of worship. While the coins are dated "1936" on the obverse and the reverse also has the dual date of "1638" and "1938", the coins were actually struck in 1937.

  • 特拉华州三百周年半美元(英語:Delaware Tercentenary half dollar)又称瑞典特拉华半美元(Swedish Delaware half dollar),是美國鑄幣局纪念首批欧洲移民定居特拉华州三百周年的半美元纪念币。硬币正面是把早期殖民者带到特拉华州的“”,背面是老瑞典教堂,据称是美国沿用至今且历史最悠久的新教教堂。硬币正面标称年份1936,背面有代表三百周年起止的1638和1938,没有实际生产年份1937。 国会1936年上半年便在无人反对下通过授权法案,为保护收藏爱好者利益、防范其他硬币生产和发行期间出现的滥发和炒作,法案经修改限制生产硬币的铸币局并加大产量。特拉华州瑞典人三百周年委员会在硬币获授权后马上举办设计竞赛,铸币局首席雕刻师与雕塑家博士评判,最后卡尔·施密茨胜出。 硬币1937年3月在费城铸币局生产,特拉华州瑞典人三百周年委员会以1.75美元单价向公众出售。出产的2.5万枚共卖出20978枚,利润用于承办三百周年庆典。如今这款半美元价值两三百美元,成色特别好的曾卖到数千美元。 (zh)
