The 1996-S Soccer Commemorative Half Dollar, issued in proof with a Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish, was minted at the San Francisco Mint as part of a series to honor the cultural and athletic significance of soccer in the United States. Designed by Richard T. LaRoche and Dean McCullen, this coin features crisp, frosted devices against a mirror-like field, showcasing the detail and dynamism associated with the sport. Product Specifications: Designer: Richard T. LaRoche (obverse), Dean McCullen (reverse) Mint: San Francisco Mintage: 112,412 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: 1996 Design Details: Obverse: The design likely features imagery celebrating the sport of soccer, potentially depicting players in action or elements symbolic of the game's energy and global appeal. The inscriptions would include "Liberty," the year "1996," and "In God We Trust," reflecting the nation's ideals and the Olympic year. The "S" mint mark denotes its San Francisco origin. Reverse: The reverse design probably echoes the themes of unity and competition inherent to soccer, possibly incorporating the Olympic rings or other symbols relevant to the sport's representation in the 1996 games. Traditional coinage inscriptions such as "United States of America" and "Half Dollar" would be present, indicating the coin's face value and country of issue.
