Modern commemorative coins, such as the 50-cent pieces issued by the United States Mint, often celebrate significant events, individuals, or anniversaries. The 1986 San Francisco 50-cent commemorative coin was part of a series created to honor the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. These coins are typically struck in limited quantities, making them desirable to collectors and representatives of specific historical narratives. The use of the San Francisco minting facility is notable for its history and significance in producing collectible coins.
