The California Diamond Jubilee half dollar was a United States commemorative silver fifty-cent piece struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1925. It was issued to celebrate the 75th anniversary of California statehood. The coins were struck in August 1925 in San Francisco, and were sold the following month. They did not sell as well as hoped: only some 150,000 of the authorized mintage of 300,000 were ever struck, and of that, nearly half went unsold and were melted. The coin is catalogued at between $200 and $1,300, though exceptional specimens have sold for more.

  • 加利福尼亚州钻禧纪念半美元(英語:California Diamond Jubilee half dollar)是旧金山铸币局于1925年生产的一种50美分面额银质纪念币,旨在庆祝加利福尼亚州建州75周年。 旧金山公民委员会希望发行纪念币来为加利福尼亚州建州钻禧庆典筹资。该州联邦众议员在国会提议授权制作纪念币,1925年2月通过的法案一共授权发行3种硬币。雕塑家乔·莫拉的设计起初不受美国美术委员会待见,但公民委员会还是坚持采用他的方案,最终方案也获得通过。此后,这种硬币的设计赢得广泛赞誉。 1925年8月,旧金山铸币局生产了15万枚纪念币,并随后开始销售。硬币的销售情况不及预期:授权发行的30万枚金币只生产了约15万枚,这其中售出的还不及六成,剩下的只能熔毁。如今,这种硬币视成色而定,价格范围约在200到1300美元之间,但也有个别特殊样本售价更高。 (zh)
