1936-S Rhode Island Half Dollar 90% Silver Commem NGC MS 65
The 1936-S Rhode Island Half Dollar 90% Silver Commemorative coin was issued to honor the 300th anniversary of Providence. The coin was later graded by NGC as MS 65.
The obverse of the coin features Roger Williams coming ashore in a small boat with a Bible in his hand. He is being greeted by a Native American. A stalk of corn is to their left, and a sunset is seen behind them. IN GOD WE TRUST and RHODE ISLAND are on the top and bottom periphery, with 1636 and 1936 separating them at 9 and 3 o’ clock respectively.
The reverse is dominated by a representation of the state seal of Rhode Island. The seal features a boat anchor at its center with the word HOPE above. E PLURIBUS UNUM is seen below, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR are arranged around the periphery.
