The quarter in the 2026 United States Semiquincentennial coinage features the Revolutionary War design depicting George Washington.
The Semiquincentennial coin program included special 2026 issues across several denominations. Among the quarter designs was a Revolutionary War theme showing George Washington, linking the coin directly to the military struggle that led to American independence.
The program also included a Mayflower Compact quarter, along with commemorative designs for the dime, half dollar and one-dollar coin. This means the anniversary coinage was not a single commemorative piece; it was a broad set of circulating and collector issues.
The Revolutionary War quarter was released into circulation in March 2026, with a launch event at Mount Vernon, Washington’s Virginia home. The quarter is sometimes confused with the program’s other anniversary coins, especially the Mayflower Compact issue. Both are quarters, but only the Revolutionary War design specifically centers on Washington.
