The 1937 Texas Commemorative Half Dollar was part of a series of coins issued to honor the centennial of Texas’s independence from Mexico, though the centennial celebration itself had concluded in 1936. These coins continued a series that had begun in 1934, with the 1937 issue being struck at all three active mints—Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco—creating a three-coin set that appealed to collectors seeking complete mint-mark collections. This specimen boasts an impressive MS67+ certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with superb eye appeal. Right now, the 1937 Texas Commemorative Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1937 Texas Commemorative Half Dollar is in Mint State 67+ condition, making it one of the finest examples of MS67 visuals. One side of the coin has bold toning around the rim with gold, teal, and violet colors that surround a bright silver center with satin luster, while the other features blast-white surfaces with bright, frosted visuals.
Originally conceived to fund the Texas Centennial Exposition and related celebrations, the 1937 issues served more as commemorative collectibles for the numismatic market than as direct fundraising tools for ongoing centennial events. The continuation of the series beyond the actual centennial year reflected the commercial success of the program, though it also exemplified the controversial practice of extending commemorative programs primarily for profit rather than historical celebration.
In the obverse field of the 1937 Texas Commemorative Coin, the design showcases a powerful American eagle with wings spread wide. A large lone star, representing Texas as the Lone Star State, appears prominently behind the eagle, with the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “HALF DOLLAR” completing the design.
For the reverse of 1937 Texas Commemorative Half Dollars, designer Pompeo Coppini offers a design with a striking image of the goddess of victory with wings spread, kneeling beside a depiction of The Alamoa with an altar known as the Altar of the Six Flags, representing the six nations that have governed Texas, in the background. She is flanked by portraits of Sam Houston and Stephen Austin, two founding fathers of Texas independence, with inscriptions of THE TEXAS INDEPENDENCE CENTENNIAL and REMEMBER THE ALAMO.
