The 1986-S Statue of Liberty Commemorative Half Dollar, with its proof Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish, is a celebratory coin minted at the San Francisco Mint to commemorate one of the United States' most iconic symbols of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty. This coin was struck to honor the statue's significance as a beacon of hope and opportunity for immigrants arriving in New York and as a monument to the friendship between France and the United States. Product Specifications: Designer: John M. Mercanti created the obverse, while Mathew Peloso is responsible for the reverse design. Mint: San Francisco Mintage: 6,925,627 Metal Composition: Clad, with 75% Copper and 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Edge: Reeded Year of Issue: 1986 Proof: DCAM, indicating a proof coin with a mirror-like field and sharply frosted devices Obverse Design: Showcases the Statue of Liberty in the foreground with a radiant sun behind her, symbolizing enlightenment and guidance. Lady Liberty is depicted in her traditional garb with a crown of rays, holding the ignited torch aloft. The inscriptions "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" gracefully arch above the design, with the issuance date "1986" below. Reverse Design: Features a group of immigrants, possibly a family, with luggage at their side, representing the hope and potential of a new life in America. The New York Harbor and city skyline serve as a backdrop, placing the subjects in their historic context. Inscriptions include "United States of America", "A Nation of Immigrants" at the top, with "E Pluribus Unum" and "Half Dollar" below.
