1892 Columbian Expo Half Classic Commemorative XF 45 10302.45-A

The 1892 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar is a landmark issue in American coinage — the first classic commemorative half dollar struck by the United States Mint. It was produced to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas and the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago. The obverse features a bold portrait of Columbus, while the reverse displays the flagship Santa María above two hemispheres of the globe. This example grades XF 45, showing crisp design detail and original character throughout. A strong representative of this beloved and historically significant series, it makes a natural centerpiece for any collection of classic U.S. commemoratives.
