Description

Introducing the 1992-P Olympic Half Dollar, a commemorative coin struck to support athletes participating in the 1992 Olympic Games. Coin Specifications: Design: William Cousins Edge: Reeded Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Mintage: 161,607 Mint: Philadelphia Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Obverse Design: The obverse of the 1992-P Olympic Half Dollar features a dynamic portrayal of a young female gymnast in mid-leap. As she gracefully performs her routine, eight prominent stars in the background symbolize the American flag. Above the gymnast's head, the inspiring words "In God We Trust" serve as a reminder of faith and unity. Below her, you'll find the date "1992," the official Olympics logo, and the word "LIBERTY." To the lower left of the design, the initials "WC" represent the talented designer of the obverse, William C. Cousins. Reverse Design: The reverse side of the coin showcases a large olive branch laid horizontally above the iconic Olympic torch. Above the design, the words "United States of America" proudly declare the nation's identity. To the left of the torch, the Latin phrase "Citius Altius Fortius," which translates to "Faster, Higher, Stronger," captures the spirit of the Olympic Games. To the right of the torch, the words "E Pluribus Unum" emphasize unity and diversity. The "P" mint mark signifies that this coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Below the central design, the words "Half Dollar" are displayed, making the coin's denomination clear. Just below the olive branch, you'll find the initials "S.M.B," representing the designer of the reverse, Steven Bieda. Supporting Athletes and the Olympic Spirit: The 1992-P Olympic Half Dollar was minted to raise funds and show support for the dedicated athletes competing in the 1992 Olympic Games. With its dynamic design and patriotic symbols, this coin captures the essence of the Olympic spirit and the pursuit of excellence. Two Versions for Collectors: In 1992, the U.S. Mint produced two versions of this coin: Uncirculated and Proof. The Uncirculated versions, like this one, were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and display the "P" mint mark on the reverse. The Proof versions were produced at the San Francisco Mint and bear the "S" mint mark on the reverse. Both versions are highly sought after by collectors. Maximum Authorized Mintage: A maximum of 600,000,000 of these coins were authorized for production under Public Law 101-406, making them limited and highly collectible.
