Silver commemorative coins were introduced in the United States to celebrate specific events, people, or themes. The 50-cent silver commemoratives produced in 1946 were minted to honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of the American Red Cross. The Denver mint produced a limited number of these coins which feature unique designs reflecting their commemorative purpose. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and silver content.
