Demand for early copper and Colonial-era numismatic treasures drives strong results in Heritage Auctions' July 13 Early Copper & Colonial U.S. Coins Showcase Auction
The Liberty Bell has long stood as a symbol of freedom and equality in many forms to many Americans, but none more so than the revolutionary fight for sovereignty that led to the birth of the United States. Now, the United States Mint is proud to herald 250 years of American independence with the Freedom Ringing – Liberty Bell in a striking limited-edition design. Years of planning and innovation have culminated in this unique coin honoring the Liberty Bell’s timeless message of hope and perseverance as inscribed upon the bell, to “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof.”
In celebration of the semiquincentennial of our Nation’s founding, this Liberty Bell-shaped coin is the first non-round coin in recent U.S. history.
Obverse Description
The obverse design features a depiction of the Liberty Bell with its iconic crack and “LIBERTY” inscribed across the shoulder. The coin bears the dates “1776 ~ 2026” and the inscription “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
Reverse Description
The reverse design depicts Independence Hall, the original home of the Liberty Bell with celebratory fireworks behind it. The bell’s yoke displays the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” with “E PLURIBUS UNUM” below. The sound bow shows the inscriptions “$250,” “1 OZ.,” and “.9999 FINE GOLD.”
