On nine occasions in the 20th century, the Denver Mint produced fewer than one million coins in a certain year and denomination.
The commemorative half eagle was also the first of this denomination to be minted in more than 50 years. Standards for weight and size are the same as for previous half eagle gold coins: weight, 8.359 grams; composition, .900 gold, .100 copper (net weight .2418 oz. pure gold). The design is the creation of the Mint's chief engraver, Elizabeth Jones.
Obverse Description
The obverse features a compelling close-up view of Liberty's face in sharp relief, with the inscription 1986 LIBERTY.
Reverse Description
An eagle in flight adorns the reverse.
