Półdolarówka olimpijska z 1996 roku była kontynuacją ekspansywnego programu monet okolicznościowych z okazji XXVI Igrzysk Olimpijskich, które odbyły się w Atlancie w stanie Georgia. Program obejmował łącznie 16 różnych monet wyemitowanych w ciągu dwóch lat.

Półdolarówka pływacka z 1996 roku była oferowana zarówno w wersji proof, jak i uncirculated, wybitej w San Francisco. Maksymalny nakład monet wynosił 3 000 000 sztuk, co stanowiło wzrost w stosunku do poziomu ustalonego dla półdolarówek olimpijskich z poprzedniego roku. Ostatecznie półdolarówka pływacka sprzedała się w znacznie mniejszej liczbie egzemplarzy niż rok wcześniej. Jak to często bywało w przypadku monet okolicznościowych z tamtej epoki, niższy nakład sprawił, że monety zyskały na wartości.

Ostateczny nakład: 49 533

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The 1996 Olympic Swimming Half Dollar continued the expansive commemorative coin program for the XXVI Olympiad Games held in Atlanta, Georgia. The program included a total of 16 different coins issued over the course of two years.

The 1996 Swimming Half Dollar was offered in both proof and uncirculated versions minted at San Francisco. The coins had a maximum mintage of 3,000,000 coins, which was an increase from the level set for the prior year’s Olympic halves. Ultimately, the Swimming Half Dollar sold significantly fewer coins than the year before. As often the case for commemoratives of the era, this lower mintage ultimately made the coins more valuable.

1996-S Uncirculated Swimming Half Dollar
Pre-Issue Price: $10.50
Regular Price: $11.50
Final Mintage: 49,533

1996-S Proof Swimming Half Dollar

Final Mintage: 114,315
