America's First Commemorative Coin

America's First Commemorative Coin

A first-of-its-kind, 90% silver numismatic treasure dating back to 1892…

  • The very first commemorative half-dollar, issued to promote the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago — also known as the Chicago World’s Fair.
  • Struck on the same large 90% silver planchet as a Barber half-dollar, it was designed by legendary coin artists Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan.
  • Presented in stunning uncirculated condition, it is paired with America’s first commemorative postage stamp, the 1893 Columbus in Sight of Land stamp.
  • Issued to honor the same occasion as the coin, the stamp is in gently used condition, with a historic postmark certifying its official postage use.
  • The encapsulated coin is presented in a luxurious wooden Display Chest, featuring an insert that flips up for better viewing.
  • A Collector’s Guide with details about the history and design of the coin, as well as a protective holder that contains the stamp, is also included.
