Revolutionary War
In recognition of the 2026 Semiquincentennial, 250 years of the United States of America, the United States Mint
will issue five new quarters celebrating our Nation. Be among the first to get the second quarter in the 2026 series
the Revolutionary War quarter honoring the will and strength to overcome the trials of war in pursuit of liberty. For
one year only, the U.S. Mint is celebrating the 2026 Semiquincentennial through special coins and medals with design
changes to most of our circulating coins. These coins commemorate American Liberty, reflecting our country’s founding
principles and honoring our Nation’s history.
Obverse Side
The 2026 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.
Reverse Side
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 1777-1778. 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.
