Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, formally declaring that the thirteen American colonies were independent states and no longer subject to British rule.

The Declaration became one of the defining documents of American history.

Its significance extended far beyond the political separation of the colonies from Great Britain. Its language concerning equality, individual rights, liberty and government derived from the consent of the governed became central to the principles associated with the founding of the United States.

The year 2026 marks 250 years since that historic declaration.

Known as the United States Semiquincentennial, the anniversary has inspired commemorative issues from mints around the world.

Few, however, carry the same historical perspective as an official coin issued by The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom.
