This Maryland Commemorative Coin features an impressive Mint State 66 certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, the 1934 Maryland Commemorative Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1934 Maryland Commemorative Half Dollar is in Mint State 66 condition with largely untoned, vivid silver on both sides that features a satin luster. The obverse has a soft frost on the devices, while the reverse has a smooth, satin sheen.
The obverse of the 1934 Maryland Half Dollar features a profile portrait of Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, who was the first Proprietor of the Maryland colony. Designed by Hans Schuler, the portrait shows Calvert in period dress with his name and title inscribed around the rim, capturing the colonial era’s aristocratic governance.
On the reverse of the 1934 Maryland Half Dollar, the design element depicts the Maryland state coat of arms, featuring the distinctive Calvert and Crossland heraldic shields that form the basis of Maryland’s flag. The design includes the denomination “HALF DOLLAR” and inscriptions marking the tercentenary dates 1634-1934, all arranged within a circular border.
This commemorative was created specifically to raise funds for the Maryland Tercentenary Commission, which organized celebrations and historical events throughout 1934 to honor the state’s founding. The coins were sold at a premium above face value, with proceeds supporting various anniversary activities and commemorative programs.
