The final quarter in the Semiquincentennial series will be released Friday, November 13th, in bags and rolls beginning at 12pm EST. Releasing from Philadelphia and Denver, the quarter will honor the Gettysburg Address.
Aiming to commemorate American Liberty by reflecting on our nation’s history and its foundational principles, the 2026 quarters will be a one year only issue and are just a few of the many coins and medals from the Mint recognizing the 250th anniversary of the birth of the nation.
For the final design, the obverse depicts the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Known as one of the most moving speeches in American history, Lincoln recognized those who made the ultimate sacrifice while imploring the American people to advance the principles for which they died. His portrait is one of stoicism, but it is evident that the burden of war and trying to move the country forward is present. E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 1776 ~ 2026 are inscribed.
The reverse features the clasping of two hands together as Lincoln's efforts to bring the nation together is symbolized. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A NEW NATION CONCEIVED IN LIBERTY, GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, and 25¢ are inscribed.
The 2-roll (P & D) set will retail at $56.00 while the 100-coin bags will retail at $63.
