Introduction of Coins
The 1994 World Cup Half Dollar was issued to celebrate the XV FIFA World Cup Soccer playoff games held in the United States. As part of the same commemorative coin program, a $5 gold coin and silver dollar were also issued. The 1994 World Cup Commemorative Half Dollar was issued in proof and uncirculated versions, with the former minted in San Francisco and the latter minted in Philadelphia. The coins carried a maximum authorized mintage of 5 million coins. The coins were offered individually, within a Young Collector’s Set, or as part of two different two and three coin sets or a six-coin set.Read More
