Historical Note:
The Texas Centennial Half Dollar series was authorized in 1934 and struck over five years to commemorate Texas' hard-won independence from Mexico. Designed by noted sculptor Pompeo Coppini, these coins blend allegory, patriotism, and state pride with a striking high-relief design.
The 1935-D issue is one of the more sought-after dates in the series, especially in higher Mint State grades. With relatively low mintages and strong symbolism, Texas commemoratives remain a pillar in any early U.S. silver collection.
