There were a lot on Commemoratives using this design over the years.
This one above in 1993,
The original one in 1926
then a 2 troy ounce one in 1939 (was it really minted in 1939?)
then again in 1986
Saw one dated 1987, but it looks real bad, claiming to be 5 troy ounces silver.

As early US Mint coin designs weren't copyrighted, they are often used on modern bullion pieces. Most of these are not commemorative pieces, simply bullion rounds that use a classic design to enhance sales. Many of them are popular with stackers/collectors.

I've picked up a few of the 1993 pieces because they have true commemorative intent - the 150th Anniversary (1843-1993) of the start of mass migration over the Oregon Trail.

I'd say it likely wasn't struck in 1939. You could get a genuine Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar dated "1939" however.

A 1993 bronze medal that re-uses the 1926 Oregon Trail Memorial Hal Dollar design which includes a Native American wearing a feathered headdress.
