1937-S Texas Independence Centennial Half BU
The 1937-S Texas Independence Centennial half dollar stands out as an exceptionally intricate example of United States commemorative coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this silver piece contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. It is highly prized by enthusiasts for its remarkably low mintage, with only 6,637 pieces ever produced for this specific year and mint combination. The coin features a highly detailed design on both sides. On the obverse, a prominent five-pointed star, representing the Lone Star State, sits behind a perched eagle. The reverse is even more complex, dominated by a kneeling winged figure of Victory. Flanking this central figure are small circular medallions containing the portraits of two pivotal figures in Texas history, Stephen Austin and General Sam Houston. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the dual dates of 1836 to 1936, the 1937 production year, and the rallying cry to remember the Alamo.
