Classic Commemoratives are a series of coins issued by the United States from 1892 to 1954 to celebrate significant events, individuals, or places. The 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition Half Dollar is a prominent example, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas. These coins, often made of silver, were intended both as a means of circulating currency and as collectible items for the public. The Classic Commemorative category includes various denominations, with the 25-cent pieces being part of the broader series comprising a range of designs and motifs.
