Independence Hall appears on the reverse of the 2026 America250 quarter honoring the U.S. Constitution.
The building in Philadelphia was known as the Pennsylvania State House during the founding era. The Second Continental Congress met there, the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted there, and the Constitutional Convention met there in 1787.
The building was later renamed Independence Hall because of its association with the Declaration and the founding of the United States. Its inclusion on the Constitution quarter connects the coin to the place where delegates debated the framework of the federal government.
Independence Hall is often confused with Federal Hall in New York City. Federal Hall hosted the first United States Congress under the Constitution and George Washington’s 1789 inauguration, but it was not the meeting place of the Constitutional Convention.
