The 2008-S Bald Eagle Commemorative Half Dollar was issued to celebrate the remarkable recovery of the bald eagle, America's national emblem, and to mark the 35th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.
The obverse, designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Joseph Menna, features a tender scene of two baby eaglets nestled in their nest alongside an unhatched egg, symbolizing new beginnings and the species' resurgence.
The reverse, crafted by Donna Weaver and sculpted by Charles Vickers, showcases a detailed profile of "Challenger," a famous bald eagle known for free-flying during the National Anthem at major events, set against the backdrop of the American flag.
This commemorative coin not only honors the bald eagle's journey back from the brink of extinction but also serves as a testament to successful conservation efforts nationwide.
