1936-D Arkansas Centennial Half AU
In 1936, the Denver Mint produced a limited run of silver half dollars to honor the statehood centennial of Arkansas. Struck in 90 percent silver, this commemorative issue contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. With a remarkably small mintage of just 9,660 pieces, this coin is a fascinating artifact from the classic era of United States commemorative coinage. The obverse of the coin features a powerful eagle perched alongside the Arkansas state emblem. Inscriptions surrounding this central design include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination HALF DOLLAR. The reverse presents a unique thematic contrast, displaying the side-by-side profiles of a Native American chief representing 1836 and an American woman representing 1936. This side bears the inscriptions ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL, LIBERTY, and the dual dates of 1836 and 1936, capturing a century of history in a single silver canvas.
