The United States Mint’s 2026 $250 gold semiquincentennial coin was shaped like the Liberty Bell.
The Mint announced that 2,026 of the $250 pieces would be struck for the anniversary. Each coin contained one troy ounce of gold and used the Liberty Bell as its distinctive physical form, linking the issue with Philadelphia and the American Revolution.
The same announcement described related $125 gold pieces containing half an ounce of gold and silver medals with the same shape. The $250 pieces were priced at $19,000, while the $125 coins and silver medals had different prices.
The Liberty Bell is often associated with the Declaration of Independence because of its location in Philadelphia and its later symbolic role. It should not be confused with the Statue of Liberty, which appeared on the obverse of the 2026 half dollar.
