- The Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centennial half dollar (also the Bridgeport Centennial half dollar or Bridgeport half dollar) is a commemorative fifty-cent piece issued in 1936 by the United States Bureau of the Mint to honor the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut, as a city. Designed by Henry Kreis, the obverse depicts the showman P. T. Barnum, who was one of Bridgeport's most famous residents, was mayor of the city, helped develop it, and is buried there. The reverse depicts a stylized eagle. Bridgeport authorities wanted a commemorative coin to help fund the centennial celebrations. At the time, Congress was authorizing such coins for even local events, and the Bridgeport half dollar legislation passed Congress without opposition. Kreis had designed the Connecticut Tercentenary half dollar (1935), and he produced designs showing a left-facing Barnum and a modernistic eagle similar to the one on the Connecticut piece. The coins were vended to the public beginning in September 1936 at a price of $2. Too late for most of the centennial celebrations, the coins nevertheless sold well, though leaving an unsold remainder of several thousand pieces. These were bought up by coin dealers and wholesale quantities were available on the secondary market until the 1970s. The Bridgeport half dollar sells in the low hundreds of dollars, depending on condition. (en)
- 康涅狄格州布里奇波特百年纪念半美元（Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centennial half dollar）又称布里奇波特百年纪念半美元（Bridgeport Centennial half dollar）或布里奇波特半美元（Bridgeport half dollar），是美国铸币局1936年生产的50美分，旨在纪念康涅狄格州布里奇波特立市一百周年。硬币由设计，正面是布里奇波特知名艺人、前市长费尼尔司·泰勒·巴纳姆的头像，背面是风格化的老鹰。 布里奇波特百年纪念公司希望通过发行半美元为庆典活动筹资，但联邦参议员觉得国会需要审核的纪念币法案太多，所以迟迟没有行动，直到该州另一位参议员递交法案。克雷斯曾在前一年设计康涅狄格州三百周年半美元，两款硬币背面的老鹰颇为相似。 布里奇波特的庆祝活动于六月上旬开始，但纪念币直至九月才姗姗来迟。硬币以两美元单价发售，销售业绩良好，最终还有数千枚被钱币经销商买走，此后多年一直有大量在二级市场徘徊，直至20世纪70年代止。如今这款纪念币视成色而定，价值在120至300美元不等。 (zh)
