dbo:abstract
The Roanoke Island, North Carolina, half dollar (also Roanoke Island half dollar) is a commemorative coin issued by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1937. The coin commemorated the 350th anniversary of the Roanoke Colony, depicting Sir Walter Raleigh on one side, and Eleanor Dare on the other, holding her child, Virginia Dare, the first child of English descent born in an English colony in the Americas. Many commemorative issues were authorized by Congress in 1936, and the Roanoke Island issue was one of them. Since it was intended to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the colony, founded in 1587, the coins were not stuck until 1937. William Marks Simpson, a sculptor who created several commemorative coins of the era, designed the Roanoke Island issue. His work required only slight modification at the recommendation of the Commission of Fine Arts. The legislation allowed Roanoke Island groups to buy 25,000 at a time, so long as the issue took place before July 1937, and they placed two such orders. Eventually, 21,000 were returned to the Mint for redemption and melting. The Roanoke Island issue catalogs in the low hundreds of dollars.
