The U.S. Mint has released new bell-shaped commemorative coins and a medal on Thursday as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebration.
The products are shaped like the Liberty Bell, which the Mint described as “uniquely minted” for 2026.
The Freedom Ringing Liberty Bell series includes a one-ounce $250 gold coin, a half-ounce $125 gold coin and a half-ounce silver medal, priced at $19,600, $10,050 and $750, respectively.
Each item is limited to 2,026 pieces with a one-per-household limit, the Mint said in a press release. The pieces were hand-loaded and struck at the Philadelphia Mint’s Research and Development Lab.
The design features the Liberty Bell and the word “Liberty” on one side, with Independence Hall and “In God we trust” on the reverse, along with the dates 1776 to 2026.
The release is part of the broader semiquincentennial coin program, which also includes new quarter and dime designs entering the general circulation this year.
