This 1935 United States commemorative half dollar stands out for its highly unusual and striking imagery. The front of the coin features the detailed head of a cow, a design choice rarely seen on American currency. It also bears the name Cabeza de Vaca, honoring the explorer who led a historic journey across the Gulf states four centuries prior, starting in 1535. On the other side, the coin displays a native yucca plant set against a map of the Old Spanish Trail. Struck in 90 percent silver, this piece contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. Preserved in beautiful uncirculated condition, this coin offers a fascinating visual record of early North American exploration.
