1936 Albany, New York Charter Half Dollar MS-66 PCGS
This 1936 silver commemorative coin celebrates the early history of Albany, New York, with a remarkably detailed design. The obverse features a group portrait of three key historical figures: Governor Thomas Dongan, Peter Schuyler, and Robert Livingston. Together, these men played pivotal roles in the establishment and early governance of the settlement. On the reverse, the coin takes a naturalistic turn, showcasing a beaver focused on gnawing a maple branch. This industrious animal serves as a classic symbol of the region's early trade and wilderness. Struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal weight of 0.3617 troy ounces, this specific piece has been certified in exceptional Mint State 66 condition, preserving the intricate details of both its human subjects and its wildlife imagery.
