Which U.S. Bicentennial coin showed the Liberty Bell superimposed against the Moon?

The Eisenhower dollar was the U.S. Bicentennial coin that showed the Liberty Bell superimposed against the Moon.

The design appeared on the reverse of the special Eisenhower dollar issued for the 1976 Bicentennial. It combined a historic symbol of American independence with a modern image associated with the United States space program. The pairing reflected the Bicentennial’s effort to connect the nation’s Revolutionary origins with its technological achievements.

The three special circulating coins used different reverse designs. The Washington quarter featured a Colonial drummer, the Kennedy half dollar showed Independence Hall, and the Eisenhower dollar combined the Liberty Bell and Moon. All three denominations carried the dual date 1776–1976.

The coin is often confused with the 1976 quarter because both are common Bicentennial pieces. The denomination is the key distinction: the Liberty Bell-and-Moon design belongs to the Eisenhower dollar, while the quarter carries the drummer design.
