The Draped Bust Half Dollar with a Small Eagle design was minted in the United States from 1796 to 1797. The 1796 variant is particularly noteworthy as it was the first year of issue for the half dollar denomination. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins feature a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a small eagle on the reverse. The limited mintage and historical significance make the 1796 Draped Bust Half Dollar a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists.
