The 1936 Columbia Commemorative coin was issued to recognize Columbia, South Carolina, and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the city being named the state capital. Created during the peak years of the US commemorative coin program of the 1930s, this half dollar was designed by Abraham Wolfe Davidson and struck at the Philadelphia Mint. With a limited declared mintage and a strong collector following, it remains an important release in classic American commemorative coinage. This 1936 Columbia Commemorative Half Dollar features an MS66 certification and a mintage of only 8,009 coins. Today, the 1936-D Columbia Commemorative Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1936-D Columbia Commemorative Half Dollar is graded Mint State 66 by PCGS. Coins in MS66 condition often display bright surfaces and strong original luster, with only minor contact marks visible under closer inspection. This coin has near-perfect surfaces with a vivid, blast-white luster.
The obverse design of the 1936-D Columbia Commemorative Half Dollar features an allegorical depiction of Justice in the center of the field. Justice is shown standing between two government buildings that reflect Columbia’s history. The Old State House is featured in the left field and represents the building used beginning in 1790. The New State House appears in the right field and represents the larger structure constructed between 1855 and 1907.
On the reverse of the 1936-D Columbia Commemorative Coin, the palmetto tree takes center stage as the primary design element. This tree is an important symbol of South Carolina and is strongly associated with the state’s Revolutionary War identity. Encircling the palmetto are 13 stars, a design detail that emphasizes South Carolina’s early role in American history and adds another traditional patriotic element to the coin’s appearance.
The coin was issued to honor Columbia’s selection as South Carolina’s capital in 1786. Proceeds from the sale of these commemorative half dollars supported the city’s sesquicentennial celebration as well as related civic initiatives. The release offered both a historical tribute and a fundraising opportunity, allowing the community to recognize an important milestone in the city’s development.
