On the reverse, full-length figures of Boone and Chief Black Fish stand against a backdrop of Boonesborough. The Act of May 26, 1934, called for the coining of 600,000 half-dollars honoring the bicentennial of Boone's birth. Money raised was to restore four historic sites associated with Boone and early Kentucky. The initial coins, dated 1934, amounted to just 10,007 from the Philadelphia Mint. A new striking of 10,010 from the mint appeared the following year with the date 1935, followed by 5,005 each Denver and San Francisco Mint issues couple of months later. Of course, the reference to a pioneer year was now irrelevant, since that year, 1934, was no longer on the coins. This was fixed in 1935, when a small date 1934 was added above the inscription PIONEER YEAR per new legislation dated August 26, 1935. Of this bunch, 10,010 were made at Philadelphia, but the Denver and San Francisco mints made only 2,003 and 2,004 pieces. Other versions were minted until 1939.
