The New Rochelle 250th Anniversary half dollar is a commemorative coin struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint to mark the 250th anniversary of the settling of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. Artist Gertrude K. Lathrop designed the piece; she was chosen after work by was rejected by the federal Commission of Fine Arts (CFA). The coin depicts a fatted calf on one side, being led by John Pell, who sold the land on which New Rochelle now stands; the other shows a fleur de lis, an element of the city seal of New Rochelle and of France's La Rochelle, its eponym. The piece is dated 1938 but was minted the previous year. The New Rochelle piece was the last new-design commemorative struck by the Mint until 1946.

  • 新罗谢尔二百五十周年半美元(New Rochelle 250th anniversary half dollar)是美国铸币局生产的50美分,旨在纪念欧洲移民在今纽约州西徹斯特郡新罗谢尔所在地定居二百五十周年。美国美术委员会否决的设计方案后,创作奥尔巴尼宪章半美元的获聘为纪念币操刀。硬币正面是当年卖掉新罗谢尔所在地的约翰·佩尔手牵“肥牛犊”,背面是新罗谢尔和法国拉罗谢尔市徽上都有的百合花饰。所有半美元都是1937年生产,但遵照授权法案要求实际标识的年份是1938。这款硬币面世后,铸币局直到1946年才生产下一款新设计的纪念币。 1936年美国国会授权发行的纪念币非常多,威彻斯特县硬币俱乐部希望也能为新罗谢尔的周年纪念发行一款。纽约州国会议员接受委托,授权法案通过前经过大量修订,以防过去纪念币发行期间出现的不良现象。美术委员会认可拉思罗普的设计方案后,费城铸币局共出产2万5015枚半美元,其中15枚由铸币局为美国化验委员会的年度检测保留。 硬币面世后以两美元单价发行,买家包括全美48个州和多个国家及地区居民。销售工作从1937年末持续到1938年初,后有9749枚退回铸币局熔毁。如今这款纪念币视成色而定,市场价格在数百美元不等。 (zh)
