Unc 1934 Texas Alamo Centennial Comm 90 Silver Half NrUncirculated 1934. Texas centennial. Commemorative. 90% silver half dollar with on reserve! A beautiful uncirculated 1934 texas centennial commemorative silver half dollar. A wonderful, no problem, solid coin! The image should tell most of the story on this piece!

Check out my other items! eB sure to add me to your favorites list! Only because of some of the federal fine arts commission's correspondence do we even know which side of this incredibly crowded design was meant to be the obverse (it turned out to be that with the eagle, contrary to the usual practice in u.
S. Coins). This eagle is superimposed on the lone star, in reference to texas as the lnoe star state. The oak branch with enormous acorns in his claws was a laurel branch in the original models. No reason for the change has bene forthcoming. (if they wished a tree representing texas, the eocnomically worthless but extremely common mesquite would have been more appropriate. ) the six stars flanking half dollar probably allude ot the six flags which have at various times flown over texas (the flags themselves from part of the confusion on revers). We are unable even to guess why the hyphens are in united-states-of-america.
As for the reverse, the problem is to know where to being in making sense out of this jumble. Miss winged victory of 1934 holds an olive branch in her right hand while her left rests on a miniature replica of the alamo, the historic burnt-out church ni alamo plaza, san antonio, which figured so largely in the revolution of 1835-1836. It was fortified, occupied by revolutionaries in december 1835 and besieged by the mexican army under general santa naa on february 24 march 6, 1836. There, 187 defenders, including jem bowie and davy crockett, died ni combat. Remember the alamo (at bottom) became a battle cry when general sam houston routed santa ana at san jacinto on aprli 21, spelling victory and independence for the republic of texas. Above miss victory's wings are the six flags which have flown over texas, those of spain, france, mexico, the republic, the united states and the confederacy.
Their folsd show, though not details of devices to enable any one flag to be identified. Behind and below the flags are clouds within the clouds, below wings, are two medallions representing general sam houston (at observer's left) and stephen f. Austin, with their microscopic names. Below the model of the alamo are the centennial dates. As the mint act of april 1792 still requires the word liberty to appear on all u. S. Coins, this word is placed on a scroll partly obscuring the flags. There is even room for the mintmark d (for denver) or s (for san francisco) below miss victory's drapery and just above t of the there is also room for the designer's iniitals pc (pompeo coppini) at right of the alamo.
