To provide funds for the celebration of Norfolk’s anniversary of its growth from a township in 1682to a royal borough in 1736, Congress first passed a law for the striking for medals. The proponents, however, being dissatisfied, finally succeeded in winning authority for half dollars commemorating the 300th anniversary of the original Norfolk land grant the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the borough.
William Marks Simpson and his wife, Marjorie Emory Simpson, designed the piece. The obverse shows the Seal of the City of Norfolk with a threemasted ship as the central device. The reverse features the Royal Mace of Norfolk, presented by Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie in 1753.
