The silver Benjamin Franklin half - dollar coins issued from 1948 to 1963 were a half - dollar (50 - cent) currency denomination issued by the United States Mint to commemorate Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States.On the obverse is a profile portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States. With a resolute gaze, he faces to the right. Above the portrait, the word "Liberty" proudly proclaims the ideals of our nation. Directly below, the motto "In God We Trust" reminds us of our beliefs.
On the reverse is the iconic Liberty Bell, a symbol of American independence. Above the bell appears the phrase "E Pluribus Unum" (meaning "Out of many, one"). On the left side of the bell, the denomination is shown. On the right side, there is a small eagle, fulfilling the requirement that a half-dollar coin must have an eagle pattern.

Commemorative significance:
Franklin was chosen because of his status as one of the founding fathers and an outstanding figure in the United States. It is hoped that his contributions can be commemorated through the coin.
Design of the Liberty Bell:
The Liberty Bell was chosen for the reverse side of the coin because it symbolizes the independence and freedom of the United States, complementing Franklin's image.
Iteration of coin design
Alternative to "Walking Liberty" Half dollar: Before 1948, the American half dollar coin was themed "Walking Liberty" (1916-1947). Due to aging designs and changes in public aesthetic needs, the US Mint decided to change the pattern, and Franklin's historical status made him an ideal candidate.
The Fusion of Art and Technology: The coin was designed by the sculptor John R. Sinnock, who is also the designer of Lincoln's commemorative coins. His works focus on the combination of the realistic character portrayal and the symbolic meaning of historical characters.
Transition nodes in the history of currency
The shift from "historical figures" to "contemporary leaders": After the assassination of Kennedy in 1963, the United States quickly introduced the Kennedy half - dollar in 1964, replacing the Franklin half - dollar. This marked a transformation in the theme of US coins from "founding fathers" to "contemporary political leaders", and the Franklin half - dollar thus became a witness to this historical turning point.
