| Reverse description | The reverse features a powerful full-body portrait of the Bald Eagle known as 'Challenger,' a non-releasable raptor trained to free-fly at national events, depicted in soaring flight with wings fully extended. An American flag with waving folds serves as the background, rendered in detailed relief behind the eagle. The eagle's head is turned to the viewer's right, displaying the species' characteristic white plumage contrasting with dark body feathers. The inscriptions E PLURIBUS UNUM and CHALLENGER arc around the design, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR completing the legend. The mint mark S appears on the reverse field. |
