Second Quarter Dollar Released in 2026 Semiquincentennial Circulating Coin Program

"By launching this coin in such a place, we are connecting the story it tells with the ground where that history was shaped, inviting all of us to reflect on the courage and ideals that defined the founding of the United States," said Treasurer of the United States Brandon Beach. "We are reminded that the legacy of the Revolutionary War is not just preserved in books but lives on in places like Mount Vernon—and now, in the coins we carry with us every day."

The Revolutionary War Quarter obverse features George Washington, the first President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The inscriptions are "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "1776 ~ 2026."

The reverse shows a Continental Army soldier at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Washington’s forces endured defeat at the Battle of Brandywine and faced disease and extreme cold during their winter encampment from 1777 to 1778. Independence had been declared the previous July, but the Second Continental Congress was forced to flee Philadelphia to evade a British attack. The soldier’s resolute gaze shows his will to overcome the trials of the war in pursuit of liberty. The inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "25¢," and "REVOLUTIONARY WAR."
