Revolutionary War "Washington Crossign Delaware" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin

Get Mystic Exclusive Coin Honoring Washington's Daring Crossing of Delaware River

This is your chance to own a US half dollar enhanced by Mystic with a dramatic image of General George Washington.  Plus, the image is permanently bonded to a John F. Kennedy US half dollar, a nice large size that makes it easy to see all the details. 

This coin showcases a detail from Emanuel Leutze’s iconic painting, Washington Crossing the Delaware, a powerful depiction of a key moment during the American Revolutionary War. The artwork illustrates General George Washington and his troops crossing the icy Delaware River on the night of December 25-26, 1776. This daring move led to a surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey, reinvigorating the Revolutionary cause at a time when morale was low.

General Washington stands resolute in the lead boat, embodying courage and determination. Surrounding him are soldiers of varied backgrounds—farmers, fishermen, and frontiersmen—united in their mission to strike back against British forces. 

Leutze painted this dramatic scene in 1851, intending to inspire unity and patriotism during a period of division in America. Today, the original painting is displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and message of perseverance.

This coin is a window into this defining era in US history.  It offers collectors a vivid reminder of Washington’s leadership and the sacrifices made to achieve independence.
