1925 Stone Mountain Half Dollar
$52.00 USD
From the chiseled face of Georgia’s granite monolith comes a coin steeped in solemnity and symbolism: the 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial Half Dollar, struck to commemorate the valor of Confederate soldiers and the legacy of the American South.
On its obverse, two mounted figures—Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson—ride side by side, etched in stoic profile beneath the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Encircling them, thirteen stars represent the Confederate states, while the inscription “STONE MOUNTAIN” anchors the scene in place and time.
The reverse bears a proud eagle perched upon a crag, wings half-spread, talons gripping the rock as if guarding memory itself. Just before it, the inscription reads: “MEMORIAL TO THE VALOR OF THE SOLDIER OF THE SOUTH”—a phrase that evokes both reverence and reflection.
This coin is not merely silver—it is a granite-bound relic, minted as part of a fundraising effort for the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial. It stands as a testament to a complex past, a ceremonial artifact that invites contemplation of history, heritage, and the narratives we choose to preserve.
🕯️ May this relic serve thee as both token and testament, a silver requiem carved in coin and stone.
