- The Huguenot-Walloon half dollar or Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary half dollar is a commemorative coin issued by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1924. It marks the 300th anniversary of the voyage of the Nieuw Nederlandt which landed in the New York area in 1624. Many of the passengers were Huguenots from France or Walloons from what is now Belgium; they became early settlers of New York State and the surrounding area. A commission run by the Federal Council of Churches in America sought issuance of a half dollar to mark the anniversary, and the bill passed through Congress without opposition in 1923 and was signed by President Warren G. Harding. Sketches were prepared by commission chairman Reverend John Baer Stoudt and converted to plaster models by the Mint's aging chief engraver, George T. Morgan. The models were initially rejected by the Commission of Fine Arts, which required revisions under the supervision of Buffalo nickel designer James Earle Fraser. Of the 300,000 coins authorized by Congress, fewer than half were actually struck, and of these, 55,000 were returned to the Mint and released into circulation. The coin excited some controversy because of its sponsorship by a religious group. The choice of William the Silent and Gaspard de Coligny to appear on the obverse was also questioned as the men are considered martyrs by the Huguenots and died decades before the voyage of the Nieuw Nederlandt. The coins are currently valued in the hundreds of dollars, depending on condition. (en)
- 胡格诺派－瓦隆人三百周年半美元（英語：Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary half dollar）又名胡格诺派－瓦隆人半美元（Huguenot-Walloon half dollar），是美国铸币局1924年发行的一种纪念币，旨在纪念1624年“新荷兰号”抵达纽约地区三百周年。这艘船上的许多乘客曾是今天的比利时境内居民，人称瓦隆人，抵达新大陆后，他们成为最早定居纽约州及其周边的移民之一。 美国组建委员会，争取在“新荷兰号”航程三百周年之际发行半美元纪念币，国会于1923年在没有人反对的情况下通过法案，再经总统沃伦·盖玛利尔·哈定签字生效。委员会主席约翰·贝尔·斯托德特神父准备有多份草图，已近杖朝之年的铸币局首席雕刻师乔治·摩根根据草图制出石膏模型。美国美术委员会起初拒绝批准模型，要求做多项调整，并由野牛镍币的设计师监督完成。 国会共计授权铸造30万枚半美元，但实际出产的还不到一半，并且还有5万5000枚送回铸币局并进入市场流通。宗教团体的背书导致纪念币发行引来非议，威廉一世和加斯帕尔·德科利尼虽被胡格诺派教众视为先烈，但在“新荷兰号”启程数十年前就已辞世，所以选择两人的头像放在银币正面之举同样招来质疑。时至今日，这种纪念币视成色而定，价格在数百美元不等。 (zh)
