The 1936 Delaware Commemorative Coin was issued to honor the 300th anniversary of the landing of Swedish settlers in Delaware in 1638. Designed by Carl L. Schmitz, the coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with an authorized mintage of 25,000 pieces, though only 20,993 were ultimately released to the public. This 1936 Delaware Commemorative Half Dollar boasts an MS66+ certification and brilliant, blast-white eye appeal. Right now, the 1936 Delaware Commemorative Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1936 Delaware Commemorative Half Dollar is in MS66+ condition, indicating it is a premium example of MS66 grading guidelines. The obverse offers a bright field with a frosted luster, while the reverse features a radiant, satin sheen. Cartwheel toning rolls across the fields on both sides, creating crisp, vivid eye appeal.
The coin was created to commemorate the tricentennial of the first permanent settlement in Delaware by Swedish colonists who established New Sweden along the Delaware River. Proceeds from the coin’s sale helped fund celebrations and historical programs marking this significant milestone in Delaware’s colonial history and Swedish-American heritage.
In the obverse design of the 1936 Delaware Commemorative Coin, you’ll find the Kalmar Nyckel. The historic Swedish ship brought the first Swedish settlers to Delaware’s shores in 1638. The vessel is shown under full sail, navigating the waters of the Delaware River, with waves beneath and inscriptions surrounding the maritime scene. This design captures the courage and determination of these early colonists who crossed the Atlantic to establish a new settlement.
For the reverse of the 1936 Delaware Commemorative Half Dollar, the design displays the Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware, one of the oldest churches in the United States still in use and a testament to the Swedish colonial legacy. Built in 1698, the church is depicted with architectural accuracy, surrounded by inscriptions commemorating the tercentenary. A five-pointed star appears above the church, symbolizing the enduring Swedish influence in Delaware.
