Which U.S. coin denomination features the “Liberty Over Tyranny” design in the 2026 semiquincentennial coinage?

The story behind the answer

The dime features the “Liberty Over Tyranny” design in the 2026 United States semiquincentennial coinage.

The commemorative dime’s obverse presents Liberty, while its reverse shows an eagle clutching arrows. The design belongs to a broader 2026 coin program created to recognize the 250th anniversary of American independence. The program includes redesigned or commemorative issues across several denominations.

The quarter series includes five different subjects, including the Mayflower Compact, the American Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. A separate half dollar carries the “Enduring Liberty” theme and features the Statue of Liberty. These subjects mean that the dime’s title should not be confused with the themes used on the quarters or half dollar.

The regular U.S. dime is worth ten cents and traditionally carries Franklin D. Roosevelt on its obverse. The 2026 semiquincentennial issue temporarily uses a special Liberty design instead.
