Continuing the United States Mint's 2026 issues to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America—a celebration known as the United States Semiquincentennial —the second coin issued this year, today, March 27, is dedicated to the American Revolutionary War, the conflict that marked the birth of the nation and transformed the political map of North America in the 18th century.
OBVERSE
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of George Washington, the first president of the United States and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The inscriptions "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the years "1776 ~ 2026" surround the central image.
REVERSE
The reverse, however, depicts a Continental Army soldier at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Washington's forces suffered defeat at the Battle of Brandywine and faced disease and extreme cold during their winter encampment from 1777 to 1778. Independence had been declared the previous July, but the Second Continental Congress was forced to flee Philadelphia to evade a British attack. The soldier's resolute gaze reveals his will to overcome the hardships of war in pursuit of liberty. The inscriptions framing the composition are: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "25¢," and "REVOLUTIONARY WAR."
