1 Oz NWTM Norfolk Bicentennial Half Replica Round BU

NWTM produced a series of replica half-dollar rounds. While the mintage is unknown the serial number on the edge is only three digits. The date these were minted is unknown but they were minted with .999 Fine Silver.

Obverse: The obverse depicts the city seal of Norfolk. A sailing ship is shown, sailing on stylized waves; below is a plow and three sheaves of wheat. Underneath that is the Latin word "CRESCAS", translated as "may you prosper". Above the ship is "ET TERRA ET MARE DIVITIAE", meaning "both land and sea are your riches". The inscriptions trace the progress of Norfolk from borough to city and include the date 1936. Along the outer rim is the inscription "BOROUGH OF NORFOLK BICENTENNIAL" with the date 1936 at the bottom.

Reverse: The reverse shows Norfolk's mace, with the date of the land grant, 1636, divided by it and flanked by sprigs of dogwood. That date is explained by the words "NORFOLK VIRGINIA LAND GRANT". The mottos "IN GOD WE TRUST", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and "LIBERTY" are located towards the bottom. Around the rim is an inscription bearing the purity, and content. It reads "COMMEMORATIVE .999 FINE SILVER". The weight of "1 TROY OUNCE" is located at the bottom. 

Edge: The edge is reeded except for a flat surface at the bottom containing a 3-digit serial number.
