The Liberty Bell is superimposed on the Moon on the 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar.
The dollar was one of three circulating U.S. coins redesigned for the Bicentennial. Its reverse paired the Liberty Bell with the Moon, an image that connected the nation's revolutionary beginnings with its modern space-age achievements.
The special coins were dated 1776–1976 rather than bearing only a single year. The quarter used a colonial drummer, while the half dollar showed Independence Hall. These temporary reverse designs made the anniversary visible in everyday commerce.
The Liberty Bell is associated with Philadelphia, where the Second Continental Congress met and adopted the Declaration of Independence. The Moon reflects the United States' achievements in space exploration, including the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s.
