Coin Details

Description

Closing the fifteen-entry 1871 half dollar pattern series, J-1119 was struck in aluminum and carries the year's final half dollar design concept into its most experimental material form. As the conclusion of a comprehensive design survey spanning five distinct obverse treatments across three compositions, this piece represents the culmination of the most thorough half dollar pattern program since the denomination's inception in 1794.
