The half dollar carries the Statue of Liberty on its obverse in the 2026 United States Semiquincentennial coin series.
The coin’s design is titled “Enduring Liberty.” Its obverse features the Statue of Liberty, while the reverse depicts hands passing Liberty’s torch. The imagery connects the anniversary to the continuing idea of liberty rather than to one single Revolutionary-era event.
The half dollar is only one part of the semiquincentennial coin program. Other 2026 denominations include redesigned dimes, five special quarters, and a one-dollar coin, while cents and nickels receive dual dates or related anniversary treatments.
Collectors may confuse the half dollar with the quarter designs because both denominations are part of the same anniversary program. The quarter subjects are historical episodes and documents, whereas the half dollar uses a symbolic national monument as its main obverse image.
