The half dollar features the “Enduring Liberty” design in the 2026 America250 coin program.
The design places the Statue of Liberty on the obverse and shows hands passing the statue’s torch on the reverse. The imagery presents liberty as both an established national symbol and a responsibility passed between generations.
The half dollar is one part of a larger semiquincentennial coinage program that also includes cents, nickels, a dime, five quarters, and a one-dollar coin. The five quarters carry separate historical themes, while the half dollar uses a broader symbolic design.
The Statue of Liberty has appeared on American coinage before, but the “Enduring Liberty” pairing is specific to the 2026 anniversary program. The half dollar should not be confused with the quarter series, whose subjects include the Mayflower Compact and the Gettysburg Address.
