The 2003-P First Flight Commemorative Half Dollar, a regular strike coin minted at the Philadelphia Mint, celebrates a century since the Wright Brothers' historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. This coin, designed by John M. Mercanti and Norman E. Nemeth, honors the ingenuity and determination that propelled mankind into the era of aviation. Product Specifications: Designer: John M. Mercanti (obverse), Norman E. Nemeth (reverse) Mint: Philadelphia Mintage: 57,122 Metal Composition: Clad, with 75% Copper and 25% Nickel Diameter: 30.60 millimeters Weight: 11.34 grams Edge: Reeded Issue Date: August 1, 2003 Design Highlights: Obverse: The coin likely showcases imagery that commemorates the first powered flight, such as a depiction of the Wright Brothers' airplane or the brothers themselves as they embarked on their pioneering journey. "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and the year "2003" would typically accompany the design, along with the "P" mint mark representing the Philadelphia Mint. Reverse: The design on the reverse may feature elements associated with flight or the Wright Brothers' legacy, possibly including iconography from the era or location of the flight. Inscriptions would include "United States of America," "Half Dollar," and "E Pluribus Unum," along with commemorations specific to the centennial of flight.
