The Arkansas–Robinson half dollar is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1926. It is a special issue of the Arkansas Centennial half dollar featuring a different reverse design from Henry Kreis.[1] [2]
The coin featured Joseph Taylor Robinson, who represented Arkansas in the U.S. Senate at the time. He was the fourth of four living persons depicted on U.S. coinage.[2]
