1927 Vermont Quadricentenaire Half Dollar

The 1927 Vermont Quadricentenaire Half Dollar is a shining tribute to American history, minted to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of Lake Champlain—an event that played a pivotal role in Vermont’s early exploration and settlement. Its obverse features a striking portrait of Samuel de Champlain, the French explorer who first mapped the lake in 1609, with his name and the year “1609” inscribed to honor the milestone. The reverse showcases a detailed depiction of Lake Champlain, flanked by the Green Mountains (Vermont’s iconic landscape) and a pine tree, symbolizing the state’s natural beauty and resilience. Struck with meticulous craftsmanship, this half dollar blends historical reverence with artistic elegance, making it a standout in U.S. commemorative coinage. Whether you’re a collector of state commemoratives, a history buff fascinated by early American exploration, or someone seeking a meaningful antique gift, this coin offers a tangible connection to Vermont’s legacy and a pivotal moment in colonial history.

Description

The 1927 Vermont Quadricentenaire Half Dollar holds a special place in commemorative coin history, not just for its purpose but for its artistry. Minted for a limited time to mark the quadricentennial, its mintage was relatively small, adding to its allure for collectors today. What sets it apart is its focus on a regional story with national significance: Champlain’s exploration laid groundwork for European settlement in the Northeast, and the coin captures that narrative through vivid design. The obverse’s portrait of Champlain is rendered with fine detail—from his period attire to the determined set of his jaw—while the reverse’s lake and mountain scene feels almost like a miniature landscape painting, with crisp lines that bring the terrain to life. Crafted from 90% silver and 10% copper, it has a substantial weight (12.5g) and a warm, natural luster that develops a rich patina over time. Unlike generic old coins, it’s a “story coin”—one that sparks conversations about exploration, geography, and how we honor the past. It’s perfect for display in a collection, gifting to a Vermont native, or adding depth to a set of 20th-century commemoratives.
