  • 康涅狄格州布里奇波特百年纪念半美元(Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centennial half dollar)又称布里奇波特百年纪念半美元(Bridgeport Centennial half dollar)或布里奇波特半美元(Bridgeport half dollar),是美国铸币局1936年生产的50美分,旨在纪念康涅狄格州布里奇波特立市一百周年。硬币由设计,正面是布里奇波特知名艺人、前市长费尼尔司·泰勒·巴纳姆的头像,背面是风格化的老鹰。 布里奇波特百年纪念公司希望通过发行半美元为庆典活动筹资,但联邦参议员觉得国会需要审核的纪念币法案太多,所以迟迟没有行动,直到该州另一位参议员递交法案。克雷斯曾在前一年设计康涅狄格州三百周年半美元,两款硬币背面的老鹰颇为相似。 布里奇波特的庆祝活动于六月上旬开始,但纪念币直至九月才姗姗来迟。硬币以两美元单价发售,销售业绩良好,最终还有数千枚被钱币经销商买走,此后多年一直有大量在二级市场徘徊,直至20世纪70年代止。如今这款纪念币视成色而定,价值在120至300美元不等。 (zh)
