1989 U.S. Congress Bicentennial Clad Half Dollar Commemorative Proof
Commemorating 200 Years Of Congress
Some of the biggest battles ever fought in the United States were not on distant fields, but in Washington, D.C., where Democrats and Republicans have squared off for more than 230 years over such hot-button issues as civil rights, equal rights, the economy, and foreign policy. Created by the Constitution of the United States, Congress is the legislative branch of our nation’s government comprised of two chambers: The Senate and the House of Representatives.
An Up-Close Look At Our Nation’s Capitol Building
To commemorate the Bicentennial of Congress in 1989, the U.S. Mint struck this fascinating clad half dollar that presented a view of the U.S. Capitol building that few are ever fortunate enough to see. This legal-tender coin gives us a close-up image of the Statue of Freedom, a bronze statue designed by sculptor Thomas Crawford that has sat high atop the Capitol building since 1863. The coin’s reverse is equally impressive as it shows a full view of the Capitol Building, accentuated by seven stars above and three stars to each side below. Each coin boasts an exquisite Proof finish with razor-sharp raised elements and mirror-like backgrounds.
Struck for one year and one year only at the San Francisco Mint, this shimmering Proof coin was struck to demand and ended with a final limited edition of 767,897 proof coins. A popular commemorative both for its stirring images and its milestone bicentennial anniversary, it will make a stunning addition to your collection. Order yours today!
