Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence
On 4 July 1776, the Declaration of Independence announced the separation of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. In 2026, the United States marks 250 years since that historic declaration.
This commemorative collection has been created for the anniversary year, exploring American history through three distinct subjects.
The Freedom Liberty Eagle represents the ideals and symbols of independence. The Washington Eagle reflects the foundation of the United States, while the Lincoln Eagle represents the preservation and evolution of the nation.
Together, the three designs create a distinctive silver collection commemorating one of the most significant anniversaries in American history.
Limited to 100,000 of Each Silver Coin Worldwide
Each of the three silver designs has a maximum worldwide mintage of 100,000 coins.
This means no more than 100,000 Freedom Liberty Eagle, 100,000 Washington Eagle and 100,000 Lincoln Eagle 0.5oz silver coins will be issued.
For collectors seeking the complete silver collection, the restricted mintage adds another dimension to the coins beyond their precious-metal content and historical subject matter.
0.5oz of 999 Fine Silver
Each coin contains 0.5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, providing a total of 1.5 troy ounces of fine silver for collectors purchasing all three coins.
The half-ounce format makes the collection accessible to both established collectors and those looking to start a precious-metal collection, while the shared specifications create consistency across all three designs.
All three coins are officially issued under the authority of Ascension Island and carry a denomination of $1. + Read more

These coins combine .999 fine silver, a major historical anniversary and a worldwide mintage limited to 100,000 of each design.

For silver buyers, the collection offers physical silver in a distinctive commemorative format, combining 0.5oz of fine silver per coin with the collectable appeal of a limited issue.
