The 1992-S Olympic Commemorative Half Dollar, with its proof Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish, is a coin minted at the San Francisco Mint to support and celebrate the athletes of the 1992 Olympic Games. Designed by William Cousins, this coin captures the athletic spirit and the timeless ideals of the Olympic movement. Product Specifications: Designer: William Cousins (obverse), Steven M.

Obverse Design: Depicts a female gymnast in mid-leap, symbolizing the grace and strength of Olympic athletes. Eight stars in the background represent the American flag, signifying national pride.

Reverse Design: Features a large olive branch, a symbol of peace, laid over the Olympic torch, representing the passing of the Games' legacy. "United States of America" is arched above, while "Citius, Altius, Fortius" (Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger") and "E Pluribus Unum" flank the torch, embodying the Olympic motto. The "S" mint mark is displayed next to "E Pluribus Unum," and "Half Dollar" is inscribed below. The designer's initials "SMB" for Steven M. Bieda are located beneath the olive branch.
