Comentários
The 1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollar was promoted by the California film industry in connection with the First Annual Historical Revue and Motion Picture Film Industry Exposition. The topic of the coin was the 100th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that efforts of European countries to interfere or establish new colonies in the west would be viewed as acts of aggression. The Doctrine had a long standing impact on U.S. foreign policy. Official logo of 1901 Pan-American Exposition which was copied for the reverse design. The Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollars were distributed by the Los Angeles Clearing House and initially sold for $1 each. A vast number of the mintage was eventually released into circulation at face value. Nearly all examples of this issue will be encountered with shallow strikes and characteristically unattractive surfaces. Higher grade mint state examples with an attractive appearance are extremely elusive. Authorization: Public Law 67-391 Maximum Authorized Mintage: 300,000
