Silver commemorative coins, specifically the 50-cent pieces minted in the United States, were produced to celebrate significant events, individuals, or places. The 1923-S San Francisco Mint issued a silver commemorative half dollar honoring the 100th anniversary of the founding of the city of San Francisco. These coins are notable for their artistic designs, often featuring intricate details and historical themes. The 1923-S variant is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and significance in American history.
