Alabama Centennial 1921 Half Dollar Coin just $15.00. The obverse features portraits of the Governor at the time of statehood in 1819, William Bibb, and his counterpart in 1919, Thomas Kilby. The Alabama half dollar became the first commemorative coin to depict a living individual. The profiles of the two governors on the coin’s obverse are overlapping, flanked by 22 stars representing Alabama’s admission as the 22nd state. The legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR encircle the outer rim, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST placed above the governors’ heads. Below the portraits appears the date 1921, flanked by the two governors’ names. The reverse features a rendering of the eagle from the state seal, perched upon a horizontal shield, grasping arrows in its talons and a ribbon in its beak. The ribbon is inscribed with the state motto: HERE WE REST. Above the eagle is the inscription STATE OF ALABAMA with the dual dates 1819 and 1919 flanking CENTENNIAL below. The designer, Laura Gardin Fraser's initials, LGF, are in the right reverse field near the rim. These coins are a great symbol of American history!
