About This Coin
The 2021 National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum Commemorative Half Dollar is a United States commemorative half dollar. Part of the Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum three-coin program, this half dollar focuses on the investigative side of law enforcement. The magnifying glass and fingerprint reference the forensic techniques that have revolutionized criminal justice. The obverse features a sheriff's star representing law enforcement that protects local and rural communities, while the reverse displays an eye in a magnifying glass poised over a fingerprint, representing investigation. Designed by Ronald D. Sanders and John P. McGraw (obverse), Heidi Wastweet and Renata Gordon (reverse). Struck in nickel clad copper-n, 30.6 mm in diameter. The Law Enforcement half dollar complements the dollar's community focus with its emphasis on the science of criminal investigation.
