The Arkansas Centennial half dollar is a commemorative fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1935 to 1939. The coin was designed by Edward E. Burr and commemorates the 100th anniversary of Arkansas's admission to the Union in 1836.
The Arkansas–Robinson half dollar, a special issue of the coin featuring a different design, was minted in 1936.
