The 1996-S Swimming Commemorative Half Dollar, presented in proof with a Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish, was struck at the San Francisco Mint to celebrate the centenary of the Modern Olympic Games. Part of a two-year program that produced 16 different Olympic commemorative coins, this particular piece highlights the athleticism and grace of Olympic swimming. Designed by William Krawczewics and Malcolm Farley, it is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Olympic spirit. Product Specifications: Designer: William Krawczewics (obverse) and Malcolm Farley (reverse) Mint: San Francisco Mintage: 114,315 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 Features: Obverse: Depicts a swimmer in mid-stroke, powerfully cutting through the water, a representation of the athleticism and competition of Olympic swimming. The obverse includes the inscriptions "Liberty," the Olympic year "1996," and "In God We Trust," along with the "S" mint mark of the San Francisco Mint. Reverse: The reverse design is likely to incorporate elements that reflect the spirit and history of the Olympic Games, possibly featuring Olympic symbols or other imagery that celebrates the 100th anniversary of the games. Inscriptions on the reverse would include "United States of America" and "Half Dollar" to denote the country of origin and the denomination of the coin.
