1935-S Texas Independence Centennial Half Dollar Commem AU
The 1935 San Francisco Mint half dollar stands as a remarkably detailed tribute to the centennial of Texas independence. Struck in 90% silver, this coin contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal, carrying a wealth of symbolic imagery within its modest circular frame. On the obverse, a bold five-pointed star, the iconic symbol of the Lone Star State, sits directly behind a perched eagle. The reverse is even more complex, dominated by a kneeling, winged figure of Victory. Flanking this central figure are two circular medallions containing the portraits of Texas pioneers Stephen Austin and General Sam Houston. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the words REMEMBER THE ALAMO, alongside the dual dates of 1836 and 1936, which frame the historical centennial. The coin also bears the traditional mottos IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM, the denomination HALF DOLLAR, and the 1935 production year, accompanied by the S mint mark representing its origin at the San Francisco Mint.
