Comment
Despite the higher authorized mintage of 200,000 coins, net distribution after melting was only 27,134. The gold commemorative issues struck for the Panama Pacific International Exposition sold a proportionally large amount of their maximum mintage. The 1915 Panama Pacific Half Dollar were sold for $1 each, or included in combination offers for four coin sets, five coin sets, or double sets incorporating all issues of the commemorative coin program.Interesting fact

It was created to commemorate the Panama-Pacific Exposition, a world's fair held in San Francisco, California, that year. The coin's design features an image of the exposition's buildings and grounds, surrounded by a wreath of olives and oak leaves. The coin was minted in a limited quantity, with only 24,000 produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item. Additionally, the coin was made of silver (.900), which adds to its value and historical significance.
