2019 American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Clad Uncirculated Half Dollar Reverse
In 2019, the U.S. Mint released the American Legion 100th Anniversary Half Dollar Clad Coin as part of the American Legion 100th Anniversary Coin Program. The program includes a $5 gold coin, $1 silver coin, and half dollar clad coin to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Legion.
The American Legion is a non-partisan organization founded in 1919. It is the nation's largest veterans group, with nearly two million members in more than 12,000 posts throughout the United States.
The obverse (heads) design depicts two children standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the little girl proudly wearing her grandfather’s old American Legion hat.
The reverse (tails) design completes the phrase from the obverse “I pledge allegiance to the flag… of the United States of America.” The design depicts an American Flag waving atop a high flagpole as seen from the children’s point-of-view from the ground below. The American Legion’s emblem is featured just above the flag.
