This listing is for one 1925 Stone Mountain Silver Commemorative Half Dollar, as pictured. PCGS Graded and Slabbed (MS-63). Really Beautiful Coin. The Stone Mountain Memorial half dollar was an American fifty-cent piece struck in 1925 at the Philadelphia Mint. The main purpose in creating this commemorative piece was to raise money on behalf of the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association and its goal for the Stone Mountain Memorial near Atlanta, Georgia. Designed by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, the coin features a depiction of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on the obverse and the caption: "Memorial to the Valor of the Soldier of the South" on the reverse. The piece was also originally intended to be in memory of the recently deceased president, Warren G. Harding, but no mention of him appears on the coin.In the early 20th century, proposals were made to carve a large sculpture in memory of General Lee on Stone Mountain, a huge rock outcropping.
