1920 Pilgrim Silver Half Dollar 50C Commemorative Coin Cleaned
The 1920 Pilgrim Silver Half Dollar Commemorative is an enduring piece of early American numismatic art. Struck in .900 silver, this historic half dollar honors the Pilgrim Fathers and their journey to the New World. Although this example has been cleaned, it remains an attractive collectible, offering an affordable entry point into classic U.S. commemoratives.
The Pilgrim Silver Half Dollar was authorized by Congress in 1920 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Mayflower’s historic voyage. Sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin designed the coin, featuring Governor William Bradford on the obverse, dressed in traditional Pilgrim attire and holding a Bible. The reverse depicts the Mayflower under full sail. This commemorative was minted in 1920 and 1921, with a total mintage of just over 260,000 coins, making it one of the earliest U.S. commemoratives to celebrate the nation’s colonial heritage.
The Pilgrims, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, sailed aboard the Mayflower in 1620, landing at Plymouth Rock and establishing one of the first enduring European settlements in North America. Their story remains a cornerstone of early American history and cultural identity.
