Which denomination’s 1776–1976 U.S. Bicentennial coin showed the Liberty Bell and the Moon?

The Eisenhower dollar was the U.S. Bicentennial coin whose reverse showed the Liberty Bell and the Moon.

The coin was issued with the dual date 1776–1976 to mark the 200th anniversary of American independence. Its reverse, designed by Dennis R. Williams, combined the Liberty Bell with the Moon, linking the nation’s revolutionary past to the United States’ space achievements.

The Bicentennial coin program also produced special quarters and half dollars. The quarter showed a colonial drummer, while the Kennedy half dollar depicted Independence Hall. These different reverses are a frequent source of mix-ups when identifying the 1976 commemorative designs.

The Eisenhower dollar honored President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was the first large U.S. dollar coin issued for general circulation since the Peace dollar ended in 1935. Bicentennial versions were struck in both copper-nickel and silver-clad formats.
