Another great place to buy coins. I really like them.

 

I added the seller pic of the Jefferson to my original post also.

 

1924 Huguenot Commemorative Half Dollar (PCGS MS64). One of the nicest looking colorfully-toned Huguenot's I've seen.



An obscure fact is that neither obverse figure depicted on the coin had anything to do with the 1624 Huguenot Settlement in the U.S. William I (Prince of Orange), better know as "William the Silent" (what a great name) had been dead for 40 years at the time of the settlement.



The other person featured was Admiral Coligny, who had been dead for 52 years at the time the colony was established.



The reverse features the ship Nieuw Nederland, which the Huguenot's sailed on from Europe to the young colony. Upon arriving, a famous quote was uttered (with a rough translation of): "New-Netherland -- land more beautiful than I have ever seen in Holland.”



New Netherland (shown in yellow) later became parts of New York, New Jersey, and parts of New England.



Both sides of this Commemorative were designed by George T. Morgan, the well-known designer of the Morgan Silver Dollar.
