Collectible coins are specialized numismatic items that often hold significant value beyond their face value due to rarity, historical significance, or aesthetic appeal. In the United States, modern commemorative coins, such as the 1996 50-cent piece, were issued to honor specific events, individuals, or milestones. The 1996 50c coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the National Park Service, featuring imagery that reflects this theme. Collectors often seek these coins for their design, limited mintage, and the potential for appreciation over time.
