Modern commemorative coins in the United States are issued to honor significant persons, events, or themes. The 50 cent coins, or half dollars, are a popular denomination for commemorative issues. The 1993 modern commemorative half dollar, for example, was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Wildlife Federation, featuring designs that often reflect themes of conservation and wildlife preservation. Collectors value these coins for their limited mintage and unique designs, making them sought after in numismatic circles.
