Designed by Jo Mora, a renowned artist and sculptor, this coin became one of the more artistically acclaimed commemoratives of the 1920s era. This 1925-S California Commemorative Coin features an MS66 certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Now, the 1925-S California Commemorative Half Dollar is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1925-S California Commemorative Half Dollar comes in Mint State 66 condition. This specimen features a bright, silver center on the obverse, framed by warm amber and russet tones. Meanwhile, the reverse offers a mostly untoned, pale silver with subdued, satin luster.
The obverse of the 1925-S California Commemorative Coin features a forty-niner panning for gold, kneeling beside a stream with a pan in hand, capturing the essence of the California Gold Rush era. This dynamic scene includes a grizzly bear walking in the background, symbolizing California’s state animal and rugged wilderness. The design evokes the pioneering spirit and adventure that drew thousands to California in the mid-19th century.
On the reverse of the 1925-S California Commemorative Half Dollar, the field displays a majestic grizzly bear, California’s state symbol, walking along a mountainous landscape. Above the bear is a series of peaks representing the Sierra Nevada range, while below appears the denomination and the date. The design celebrates California’s natural beauty and wild heritage with bold, sculptural relief.
This coin was issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of California’s statehood and to raise funds for the Diamond Jubilee celebration held in 1925. The proceeds from coin sales helped finance various festivities and events throughout the state, marking this milestone in California’s history.
