The Arkansas Centennial Half Dollar was issued to mark the centennial of Arkansas’s statehood, which actually occurred in 1936. The coin continued to be minted in 1937 as part of a series that had begun the previous year, with examples struck at three different mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. This 1937-D Arkansas Centennial Coin features an MS66 certification with a limited mintage of only 5,505 coins. Right now, the 1937-D Arkansas Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1937-D Arkansas Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar is in MS66 condition. The coin boasts brilliant, blast-white surface areas with a satin, frost-like luster on both sides. MS66 coins typically exhibit no more than three or four minor, noticeable contact marks with a few light hairlines that only show under magnification.
The 1937-D, minted in Denver, served the same commemorative purpose as its Philadelphia and San Francisco counterparts—celebrating Arkansas’s centennial of statehood. These coins were sold to collectors and the public to fund centennial activities and monuments, though the practice of striking commemoratives across multiple years and mints eventually drew criticism for exploiting collectors.
The obverse of the 1937-D Arkansas Centennial Half Dollar features conjoined busts of an indigenous chieftain and a female allegory representing Liberty, symbolizing the diverse heritage of Arkansas. Designed by sculptor Emily Bates, this powerful imagery represents the merging of cultures in the state’s history, with both figures facing left in profile.
The reverse of the 1937-D Arkansas Centennial Commemorative Coin depicts the Arkansas state seal, featuring an eagle with outstretched wings perched above the sun. This side includes inscriptions of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ARKANSAS, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and HALF DOLLAR.
