For America’s 250th anniversary coin program, the quarter received five commemorative designs.
The United States Mint’s semiquincentennial program included special 2026 issues across several denominations. The cent and nickel retained current-series designs with anniversary dating, while the dime, half dollar, and dollar also received commemorative treatments. The quarter program was larger, consisting of five designs.
The legislation authorizing the program required one quarter design to recognize women’s contributions to American independence. Other themes and designs addressed the Revolutionary era and the nation’s founding story. The coins were part of a broader effort to place anniversary imagery into both circulating and collector products.
The quarter is worth 25 cents, or one-fourth of a U.S. dollar. It should not be confused with the American Women Quarters Program, a separate multi-year series authorized by the same 2020 legislation. The semiquincentennial quarter designs were specifically tied to the 2026 anniversary.
