Half dollars intended for circulation prior to 1948 depicted a personification of Liberty. Half dollars dated 1948-1963 have Ben Franklin on the obverse, half dollars dated 1964-present have the late president Kennedy on them.

Fractional bills (i.e. < $1) were only printed from 1862 to 1876, and in response to persistent coin shortages.

Except for one bill that carried a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, all of the people depicted on 50¢ notes are now-obscure cabinet members such as Treasury Secretary F.E. Spinner and Secretary of War E.M. Stanton.
