It is a special issue of the Arkansas Centennial half dollar featuring a different obverse design from Henry Kreis. This coin featured Joseph Taylor Robinson, who represented Arkansas in the U.S. Senate at the time. He was the fourth of four living persons depicted on U.S. coinage. The reverse design is the same for both coin types. Fact Check: Difference between the Arksansas Commemorative and Arkansas Robinson Commemorative Coins!The primary difference between the Arkansas Commemorative Coin (1935-1939) and the Arkansas Robinson Commemorative Coin (1936 only) lies in their designs and commemorative purposes, despite both being part of the same general Arkansas Centennial series.1. Arkansas Commemorative Coin (1935-1939)Purpose: These coins were issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Arkansas's statehood (1836–1936).Design:Obverse: Features the head of Liberty wearing a cap with a small Arkansas state seal on it, flanked by a bald eagle.Reverse: Depicts a large eagle with its wings spread, perched on a rising sun, and a star representing Arkansas.Issuance: Coins were minted from 1935 to 1939 in various years, but they maintained the same basic design.2. 1936 Arkansas Robinson Commemorative CoinPurpose: This variant was issued specifically to honor Joseph T. Robinson, a prominent Arkansas politician who served as a U.S. Senator and was the 1928 Democratic vice-presidential nominee.Design:Obverse: Features a portrait of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, replacing the head of Liberty seen on the standard Arkansas Commemorative Coin.Reverse: Retains the same reverse design as the standard Arkansas coin (the eagle with outstretched wings perched on a rising sun).Issuance: Only minted in 1936, and fewer coins were produced compared to the standard Arkansas Commemorative series, making it scarcer.Key Differences:Portrait on the Obverse:Standard Arkansas Coin: Liberty and state seal.Arkansas Robinson Coin: Portrait of Joseph T. Robinson.Purpose:Standard Coin: Celebrates Arkansas's centennial.Robinson Coin: Honors Joseph T. Robinson's contributions.Rarity: The Robinson variant is considered scarcer and more unique due to its limited issuance in 1936 only.Both coins are popular with collectors, but the Robinson variant stands out for its distinct connection to an individual, adding historical significance beyond the Arkansas Centennial celebration.
