  • 加利福尼亚州太平洋国际博览会半美元(英語:California Pacific International Exposition half dollar)又名加利福尼亚州太平洋半美元(California Pacific half dollar)、圣地牙哥半美元(San Diego half dollar),是美国铸币局1935至1936年铸造的50美分,旨在纪念这两年举办的。硬币由设计,正面刻有加利福尼亚州州徽上包括弥涅耳瓦在内的多种元素,背面则是博览会上的建筑。 1935年初,国会通过法案授权制作这款纪念币,没有任何议员投票反对,艾特肯获聘出任设计师。制作方案得到批准后,旧金山铸币局生产出25万枚半美元,但实际销售情况远不及预期,有超过18万枚无人问津。为此博览会委员会希望能把库存退回重铸1936年新版,来年借博览会的东风取得销售佳绩。法案在国会顺利通过,但新版硬币销售依然冷清,最终又有15万枚退回铸币局熔毁。如今,两版半美元纪念币的价值在数百美元左右。 (zh)
