2026 "Enduring Liberty" Half Dollar Released

For generations, the Half Dollar has honored President John F. Kennedy. In 2026, for one year only, this iconic coin takes on a historic new design to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

The Enduring Liberty 2026 Semiquincentennial Half Dollar features a powerful new interpretation of Liberty herself. On the obverse, a striking close-up of the Statue of Liberty looks boldly toward the future—a symbol of resilience, hope, and the enduring promise of freedom.

The reverse continues the story. Liberty passes her torch to a new generation, its flame burning with purpose and momentum. Beneath this powerful image appear the timeless words of James Madison: “Knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.”

Available in both Two-Roll Sets and 200-Coin Bags, these releases offer collectors and history enthusiasts the opportunity to own this once-in-a-generation Semiquincentennial design in larger quantities—perfect for sharing, collecting, or preserving as part of America’s 250th anniversary.

In 2027, the portrait of Kennedy will return to the Half Dollar, making the 2026 issue a truly unique chapter in the coin’s long history.
