The 1937 Texas Commemorative Half Dollar was issued as part of a commemorative series honoring the centennial of Texas’s independence from Mexico. Although the official centennial celebrations had already ended in 1936, the US Mint continued striking these coins beyond that year. The series itself began in 1934, and the 1937 release was notable for being produced at all three active US Mint facilities: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. This created a three-coin set that appealed to collectors looking to complete full mint-mark collections. This 1937-D Texas Commemorative Coin has been certified MS66 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and reflects the quality craftsmanship of commemorative coinage during this classic era. Today, the 1937-D Texas Commemorative Half Dollar is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1937-D Texas Commemorative Half Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint, carries the distinctive “D” mint mark and had a mintage of 6,605 coins, making it one of the scarcer issues in the Texas series. Denver’s participation in the 1937 strike allowed collectors to obtain coins from multiple mints, a practice that became standard for this series and contributed to both its popularity and the criticism that commemoratives were being exploited for commercial purposes.
This 1937-D Texas Commemorative Half Dollar has been graded Mint State 66. The coin exhibits strong surface luster with minimal marks. The average MS66 coin has no more than three or four minor, noticeable contact marks, with one or two that may be in the primary focal areas. The coin may have a few light hairlines, but these are only visible with the aid of magnification.
On the obverse of the 1937-D Texas Commemorative Coin, the design features a strong American bald eagle with wings spread wide. The eagle holds an olive branch, and behind it sits a large lone star representing Texas’s identity as the Lone Star State. Surrounding inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “HALF DOLLAR.”
The reverse design of the 1937-D Texas Commemorative Half Dollar, created by Pompeo Coppini, presents a detailed scene featuring the winged goddess of victory kneeling beside a depiction of The Alamo. In the background is the Altar of the Six Flags, symbolizing the six nations that have governed Texas throughout its history. The goddess is positioned between portraits of Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, two key figures in Texas independence. The inscriptions include “THE TEXAS INDEPENDENCE CENTENNIAL” and “REMEMBER THE ALAMO.”
