The 50-cent silver commemorative coins were first issued in 1892, and the series includes issues from various years, including 1948. The 1948 Philadelphia mint marks the reintroduction of these coins after a hiatus, specifically commemorating events like the 150th anniversary of the founding of the state of Oregon. These coins are typically valued by collectors for their historical significance and silver content.
