What phrase appears on the 2026 semiquincentennial dime alongside its eagle design?
Answer
Liberty Over Tyranny
“Liberty Over Tyranny” appears on the 2026 semiquincentennial dime alongside its eagle design.
The dime is part of the special United States coinage associated with the 250th anniversary of American independence. Its obverse features a head of Liberty wearing a Liberty cap, while the reverse features an eagle clutching arrows and includes the phrase “Liberty Over Tyranny.”
The wording connects the coin to a broad theme of the independence commemoration. It is distinct from the familiar motto “E pluribus unum,” which appears on many United States coins and means “Out of many, one.”
The 2026 coin program includes several denominations with special designs or dual dating. The dime should therefore be distinguished from the semiquincentennial quarters, half dollar, dollar, cent, and nickel, whose designs and inscriptions differ.
