In celebration of the American Bald Eagle being removed from the endangered species list, a special commemorative coin program was enacted. The 2008 Bald Eagle commemorative program was created to generate funds for the not-for-profit American Eagle Foundation of Tennessee.

The obverse of the coin features two baby eaglets and an egg within a Bald Eagle nest. The inscriptions include "Liberty" and the date "2008" separated by a star with the motto "In God We Trust" below.

The reverse of the half dollar features the Bald Eagle "Challenger" with an American flag in the background. "Challenger" is a non-releasable Bald Eagle who has been trained to free fly at major events during the National Anthem. The reverse inscriptions read "E Pluribus Unum", "Challenger", "United States of America", and "Half Dollar".

The Bald Eagle Half Dollars were minted at the San Francisco Mint in proof and uncirculated versions. The coins were sold individually or included in two specially issued sets. The Bald Eagle Commemorative 3 Coin Proof Set, contained proof versions of the half dollar, dollar, and $5 gold coins. The Bald Eagle Commemorative Young Collector's Set contained the uncirculated version of the half dollar and educational information for younger collectors.
