The Missouri Centennial half dollar is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Mint in 1921. It was designed by Robert Ingersoll Aitken. The US state of Missouri wanted a commemorative coin to mark its centennial that year. Legislation for such a coin passed through Congress without opposition and was signed by President Warren G. Harding on his inauguration day, March 4, 1921. The federal Commission of Fine Arts hired Aitken to design the coin, which depicted Daniel Boone on both sides. The reverse design, showing Boone with a Native American, has been interpreted as symbolizing the displacement of the Indians by white settlers.

  • 密苏里州百年纪念半美元(英語:Missouri Centennial half dollar)是美国铸币局1921年铸造的50美分,由设计,旨在纪念密苏里州成立一百周年。建议发行纪念币的法案在国会两院顺利通过,没有议员反对,然后由沃伦·盖玛利尔·哈定总统在1921年3月4日的上签字后成为法律正式生效。美国美术委员会聘请艾特肯设计这枚半美元,后者在硬币两面都刻上丹尼尔·布恩的形象,其中背面的布恩身边还站有美洲原住民,很可能象征着白人定居者对印第安人的驱逐。 为提升销量,部分纪念币上刻有“2★4”标记,代表密苏里州是第24个加入联邦的州。虽然设计颇受好评,但半美元销售业绩很不理想,近六成最终退回费城铸币局熔毁。如今存世的半美元中带“2★4”标记的占少数,但两者价值差距很小。 (zh)
