What phrase appears on the reverse of the 2026 America250 dime in the United States Semiquincentennial coinage?

The phrase “Liberty Over Tyranny” appears on the reverse of the 2026 America250 dime.

The dime is part of the United States Semiquincentennial coinage program, created to recognize the 250th anniversary of American independence. Its obverse uses a bust of Liberty, while the reverse features an eagle clutching arrows and carries the commemorative inscription.

The wording connects the coin’s design to a recurring theme in American revolutionary and civic language: liberty as a principle that must prevail over oppressive government. It is not the same as the familiar “Liberty” inscriptions found on many earlier U.S. coins.

The 2026 coin program includes special designs across several denominations. Some pieces use the dual date 1776–2026, allowing the anniversary year to be read alongside the year associated with the Declaration of Independence. The dime is distinct because its central commemorative wording is “Liberty Over Tyranny.”
