Special One Year Coin Designs

The 2026 collection features several designs that are only available for the Semiquincentennial year.

The Enduring Liberty Half Dollar temporarily replaces the long-standing portrait of President John F. Kennedy and the presidential coat of arms with a new design featuring the Statue of Liberty.

The Emerging Liberty Dime marks the first appearance of Liberty on the obverse of a dime since 1945.

Both the Jefferson Nickel and the Lincoln Penny bear the commemorative dual dates “1776 ~ 2026” to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

Set also includes 2026 Native American $1 coin.

The obverse continues to depict Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean-Baptiste.

The coin’s reverse honors Polly Cooper, an Oneida woman remembered for helping feed the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The design shows Cooper presenting a basket of corn to General George Washington, acknowledging the generosity and support of the Oneida Nation at Valley Forge.
