Introducing the 1996-S Swimming Half Dollar, a remarkable and highly collectible coin that holds a special place in the world of modern commemorative half dollars. With its unique design and extremely low mintage, this coin is a true gem for collectors. Coin Specifications: Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Edge: Reeded Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Mintage: 49,533 Mint: San Francisco Obverse Design: The obverse of the 1996-S Swimming Half Dollar features a dynamic and vibrant design by William Krawczewics, depicting an Olympic swimmer in action. The swimmer's energy and determination are beautifully captured, making this coin a visual celebration of athleticism. The inscriptions include "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and the year "1996." Reverse Design: On the reverse side of the coin, you'll find the work of artist Malcolm Farley. It showcases the official emblem of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. The design incorporates the Olympic rings, a laurel wreath, and the Atlanta skyline, all elegantly intertwined to commemorate this historic event. The inscriptions on the reverse read "United States of America," "E Pluribus Unum," "Half Dollar," and "Atlanta 1996." A Rarity Among Modern Commemoratives: The 1996-S Swimming Half Dollar boasts the lowest mintage of any mint state half dollar commemorative coin from 1982 to the present day. Its scarcity has consistently commanded a higher premium in the collector's market, making it a coveted piece for serious numismatists. Celebrating the Centennial Olympics: This coin was minted as part of a two-year program to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Modern Day Olympic Games. In total, 16 different Olympic commemorative coins were produced, each honoring various aspects of the Olympic spirit and history.
