Silver commemorative coins were issued in the United States between 1892 and 1954 to commemorate significant events, people, or places. The 1948 Denver 50-cent silver commemorative coin is notable for marking the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Mormon settlers in Salt Lake City, Utah. This coin features a design that incorporates elements relevant to the Mormon heritage, including the iconic beehive symbol, and is composed of 90% silver. The Denver mint produced a limited quantity of these coins, contributing to their collectibility and value among numismatists.
