- The California Pacific International Exposition half dollar, sometimes called the California Pacific half dollar or the San Diego half dollar, is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1935 and 1936. Robert I. Aitken designed the coin. Its obverse depicts Minerva and other elements of the Seal of California; the reverse shows buildings from the California Pacific International Exposition (held 1935–1936), which the coin was issued to honor. Legislation for the half dollar moved through Congress without opposition in early 1935, and Aitken was hired to design it. Once his creation was approved, the San Francisco Mint produced 250,000 coins, but expected sales did not materialize. Left with more than 180,000 pieces they could not sell, the Exposition Commission went back to Congress for further legislation so it could return the unsold pieces and have new coins, dated 1936, hoping for greater sales in the second year of the fair's run. Although the commission was successful in getting the legislation passed, it was less so in selling the coins, and 150,000 1936-dated pieces were returned to the Mint. The coins, of either date, sell in the low hundreds of dollars today. (en)
- 加利福尼亚州太平洋国际博览会半美元（英語：California Pacific International Exposition half dollar）又名加利福尼亚州太平洋半美元（California Pacific half dollar）、圣地牙哥半美元（San Diego half dollar），是美国铸币局1935至1936年铸造的50美分，旨在纪念这两年举办的。硬币由设计，正面刻有加利福尼亚州州徽上包括弥涅耳瓦在内的多种元素，背面则是博览会上的建筑。 1935年初，国会通过法案授权制作这款纪念币，没有任何议员投票反对，艾特肯获聘出任设计师。制作方案得到批准后，旧金山铸币局生产出25万枚半美元，但实际销售情况远不及预期，有超过18万枚无人问津。为此博览会委员会希望能把库存退回重铸1936年新版，来年借博览会的东风取得销售佳绩。法案在国会顺利通过，但新版硬币销售依然冷清，最终又有15万枚退回铸币局熔毁。如今，两版半美元纪念币的价值在数百美元左右。 (zh)

- At about this time [late 1935], commemorative coin collectors throughout the nation became coinage-figure conscious. Coinage figures for a while determined retail values. Large authorizations meant a tremendous floating supply of coins, which would have little value to the commemorative coin collector or to his new companion, the commemorative coin speculator. (en)
