1935-S Arkansas Centennial Half Dollar Commem BU
The 1935 Arkansas Centennial half dollar is a fascinating silver coin struck at the San Francisco Mint. With a remarkably low mintage of just 5,506 pieces, this issue is a compelling artifact from the classic commemorative era. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse design features a powerful eagle perched alongside the state emblem of Arkansas. The inscriptions on this side include the issuing authority, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", the face value of "HALF DOLLAR", and the traditional national mottos "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM". The year of production, 1935, is also clearly displayed. On the reverse, the coin presents a symbolic visual bridge across a century. It features the dual profiles of an Indigenous chief representing 1836 and a modern American girl representing 1935. This side bears the word "LIBERTY" and references the "ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL", marking the state's journey from 1836 to 1936.
