United States Independence - 250 Euro Silver Coin ½ Kg - Antique High Relief 2026
OBVERSE
250 years later, the two figures stand proudly side by side. Minerva, representing France, wears the same shield with three fleur-de-lis, helmet, and breastplate as on the original medal. Lady Liberty, embodying the United States, holds the tablet of the Statue of Liberty, inscribed with the date of U.S. independence in Roman numerals: JULY IV MDCCLXXVI. Together, they hold the flame of liberty and look serenely towards the future. The leopard is no longer part of the scene, the British threat having been definitively removed.
The illustration is surrounded by the phrase "LIBERTAS POPULUSQUE UNIVERSALIS," which means
"UNIVERSAL LIBERTY AND PEOPLE." The date July 4, 2026, is inscribed below the figures,
the anniversary date of the independence of the United States.
REVERSE
The reverse of this collection is identical to that of the LIBERTAS AMERICANA collection from the
2023 mintage, which depicts "Liberty," the bust of a slender young woman in profile facing left, the American representation of Freedom. Her unbound hair flows in the wind, and a staff topped with a liberty cap rests on her right shoulder. She inspired Galle to engrave "French Liberty" for the monetary trial in 1792. Beneath the bust, the signature "DUPRÉ" can be seen. In the exergue, the date in French reads "JULY 4, 1776." The mint marks and face value are also visible.
