ANSWER:

 

The Robinson/Arkansas half dollar (dated 1936, but coined in 1937) and the 1997 Jackie Robinson silver dollar and half eagle both portray men named Robinson.

1997-U.S. Botanic Garden (Rose on reverse).

1938 New Rochelle, N.Y. ( Minted in 1937, dated 1938. Rose on reverse).

I believe as the question reads, this answer is correct !

Sorry, but the flower on the New Rochelle half dollar is a fleur-de-lis, which is either a lily or an iris, not a rose. You still made a good observation, one that required I do a little research before answering.

I stand corrected ! They have a flower on the reverse in common and not a rose!
