Interesting fact

The Seated Liberty Half Dollar was designed by sculptor Anthony C. Paquet and was minted from 1875 to 1891. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was the first coin to feature the motto "In God We Trust," which was added to the coin's design in 1866. This motto was included on the coin to reflect the country's growing religious sentiment during the Civil War era.
