Description: A magnificent Monroe in a lofty grade. Hard to find these coins better than GEM grade but here is one that's a GEM +. A simply great coin for the perfectionist!As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there is no specific commemorative half dollar coin directly honoring the Monroe Doctrine. However, the Monroe Doctrine, articulated by President James Monroe in 1823, has been commemorated on various coins, medals, and other numismatic items throughout history.One notable example is the 1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollar. This coin was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine and features a portrait of James Monroe on the obverse and a depiction of the Western Hemisphere on the reverse, emphasizing the Monroe Doctrine's focus on non-intervention by European powers in the affairs of the Americas.Here are some key details about the 1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollar:Obverse Design: The obverse features a left-facing bust of James Monroe, and it was designed by Chester Beach.Reverse Design: The reverse depicts a map of the Western Hemisphere with an eagle superimposed, symbolizing the principles of the Monroe Doctrine. The reverse was also designed by Chester Beach.Composition: The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.Mintage: The total mintage for the 1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollar was 274,077.
