Semiquincentennial Series Quarters (2026)

The 2026 Semiquincentennial Quarters mark a historic milestone as the United States celebrates its 250th Anniversary of Independence. Released by the U.S. Mint as part of a one-year-only commemorative program, this series features five unique quarter designs honoring pivotal moments and foundational ideals that shaped the nation.

Authorized under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, these quarters represent a continuation of modern U.S. coin programs while elevating the significance of 2026 as a defining year in American history. Each design reflects a different chapter in the American story, making this series one of the most meaningful modern releases from the U.S. Mint.

Commemorating America’s Founding and Ideals

The 2026 quarter designs focus on key events and documents that contributed to the formation of the United States. Early releases in the series include the Mayflower Compact, symbolizing early self-governance, and the Revolutionary War, representing the fight for independence.

Additional designs throughout the year highlight themes such as the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address, each reflecting the evolving pursuit of liberty and unity in America’s history.

Mayflower Compact & Revolutionary War Designs

The Mayflower Compact quarter features imagery of Pilgrims embracing as they look toward the New World, alongside a reverse depicting the Mayflower ship under sail—symbolizing cooperation and the beginnings of self-governance in America.

The Revolutionary War quarter showcases George Washington and a Continental Army soldier, capturing the endurance and sacrifice that defined the struggle for independence. These early designs set the tone for a series rooted in historical depth and national identity.

A One-Year-Only Historic Coin Series

Unlike multi-year programs, the 2026 Semiquincentennial Quarters are limited to a single year of release, making them especially attractive for collectors seeking complete sets tied to a major national anniversary.

Produced at both the Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) Mints, these quarters are available in a variety of formats including circulation strikes, rolls, bags, proof coins, and certified examples, offering broad appeal across all levels of collecting.
