Obverse

The obverse of the 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial Gold Coin presents Lady Liberty in classical robes. She holds a parchment in one hand, symbolizing the Declaration of Independence, and a torch in the other. This side also includes the dual anniversary dates.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1926 Sesquicentennial Gold Coin showcases Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The coins design came from U.S. Mint Engraver John R. Sinnock and carried an authorized mintage of 200,000 pieces. While that figure was produced, low demand resulted in most being melted down, leaving around 46,019 coins surviving today.

History

The Sesquicentennial celebration took place in Philadelphiathe birthplace of American independence. Running from June to November, the Sesquicentennial International Exposition featured exhibits focused on the nations progress in technology, manufacturing, and the arts. Despite its significance, the exposition struggled financially and drew fewer visitors than expected.
