The reverse design is particularly interesting for its creation of perspective on the surface of a flat coin. The maximum authorized mintage for the issue was 50,000 pieces. Initially, half of this quantity was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. After additional demand was anticipated, the remaining 25,000 coins were ordered. These were also struck in the Philadelphia Mint, but with production taking place in 1937. Because of the stipulations of the authorizing legislation, these coins carried the same 1936 date and are indistinguishable from the earlier strikes. Designs for the Cleveland Half Dollars were created by Brenda Putman. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Moses Cleveland, the founder of the city. The reverse depicts a map of the Great Lakes area with stars placed at the location of prominent cities. A compass appears above the map with the point at the slightly larger star representing Cleveland.This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.
