The Maryland Tercentenary half dollar was a commemorative fifty-cent piece issued by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1934. It depicts The Rt Hon. The 2nd Baron Baltimore on the obverse and the Coat of Arms of Maryland on the reverse. The Commission sold about 15,000 of the full issue of 25,000 for $1 each (equivalent to $20 in 2021), and thereafter discounted the price for large sales to dealers and speculators, getting as little as sixty-five cents per coin. They increased in value over time, and are now valued in the low hundreds of dollars.

  • The Maryland Tercentenary half dollar was a commemorative fifty-cent piece issued by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1934. It depicts The Rt Hon. The 2nd Baron Baltimore on the obverse and the Coat of Arms of Maryland on the reverse. The Maryland Tercentenary Commission sought a coin in honor of the 300th anniversary of the arrival of English settlers in Maryland. The state's two senators introduced legislation for such a piece, and it passed both houses of Congress with no opposition. A design had already been prepared by Professor Hans Schuler; it passed review by the Commission of Fine Arts, though there was controversy then and since over whether Lord Baltimore, a Cavalier and Catholic, would have worn a collar typical of Puritans. The Commission sold about 15,000 of the full issue of 25,000 for $1 each (equivalent to $20 in 2021), and thereafter discounted the price for large sales to dealers and speculators, getting as little as sixty-five cents per coin. They increased in value over time, and are now valued in the low hundreds of dollars. (en)
  • 马里兰州三百周年半美元(英語:Maryland Tercentenary half dollar)是美国铸币局1934年铸造的50美分,旨在纪念英国殖民者定居今马里兰州所在地300周年。硬币设计由操刀,正面刻有第二代巴尔的摩男爵塞西尔·卡尔弗特的头像,背面是马里兰州盾形纹章。 马里兰州三百周年委员会希望发行纪念币为周年庆典筹资,为此该州两名联邦参议员一起向国会递交法案,法案在两院顺利通过,没有议员反对。美术委员会认可舒勒的设计方案,但正面一处小细节留有争议,即塞西尔·卡尔弗特身为天主教徒兼骑士党人,为什么衣领会是典型的清教徒风格。 委员会起初以一美元零售价卖出约1.5万枚纪念币,此后开始打折向经销商和投机商批发,最低价只有65美分。这款半美元此后逐渐升值,如今价值在数百美元不等。 (zh)
