# 193 - Booker T. Washington

Continuing our series of the American Half Dollars Commemoratives, we will today present the 1951-D "Booker T. Washington".

As all the commemorative half dollars, it weights 12,5g with a 90% silver purity.

This coin was produced to honor one of America's best known black educators, Booker T. Washington.

The obverse features a portrait of Washington, based on a life mask of him.

This series will continue very soon.
