Delaware’s colonial origins trace back to 1638 when Swedish settlers established New Sweden along the Delaware River, creating Fort Christina near present-day Wilmington. This small but strategically located territory changed hands multiple times, falling under Dutch control in 1655 and then becoming part of the English colonies when the Duke of York granted it to William Penn in 1682.

In the obverse of 1936 Delaware Half Dollars, you’ll find a depiction of Old Swedes Church. This historic church is located at East 7th and Church Street in Wilmington, Delaware. Wilimington is the most populous city in the state and the site of Fort Christina, the first Swedish settlement in North America.

For the reverse of 1936 Delaware Half Dollar Coins, the mint features a depiction of the Kalmar Nyckel. This Swedish ship, built by Dutch shipbuilders, is famed for carrying the Swedish settlers to North America. The settlers arrived in 1638 to establish the colony of New Sweden.
