A 1936 Nobel Peace Prize discovered at a South American
pawn shop has been sold at
auction in Baltimore for $1.16 million.
1936年诺贝尔和平奖奖牌在美国巴尔的摩的拍卖会上拍出116万美元高价，这枚奖牌是在南美的一家当铺里被发现的。
Brian Kendrella, president of New York-based Stack's Bowers Galleries, says the auction drew half a dozen
bidders from six countries. The winning bidder Thursday was an individual collector from Asia who asked to remain anonymous.
布莱恩·肯德罗拉是纽约Stack's Bowers Galleries 拍卖行的行长，他透露这次拍卖吸引了来自6个国家的6名竞拍者。在星期四举行的拍卖会上，中标者是一名匿名的亚洲收藏家。
The prize sold for a winning bid of $950,000 at auction, and an additional buyer's commission brought the final sale price to $1.16 million.
这枚奖牌在拍卖会上以95万美元的价格成交，但是需要额外支付的买方佣金使得最终的拍卖价格达到116万美元。
This is only the second Nobel Peace Prize to come to auction. This award marked the first time someone from Latin America received the honor. The 1936
recipient was Argentina's foreign minister, Carlos Saavedra Lamas.
这是第二枚被拍卖的诺贝尔和平奖奖牌，得主是第一个获得该奖项的拉美人——1936年诺贝尔和平奖奖牌被授予当年的阿根廷外长卡洛斯·萨维德·拉莫斯。
The prize sold for far more than the gallery's
estimate of $50,000 to $100,000. The only other Nobel Peace Prize known to have sold at auction was a 1903 medal that brought nearly $17,000 in 1985.
这枚奖牌拍出的高价远远超过了该拍卖行预计的成交金额——5万美元到10万美元。此前，仅有1903年诺贝尔和平奖奖牌在1985年被拍卖，拍得将近1.7万美元。
