Bullion Exchanges presents the 2026 1/2 oz 1916 Walking Liberty Gold Coin 250th Anniversary (w/Box & COA), a stunning 24-karat tribute to one of America’s most iconic coin designs. Struck by the United States Mint, this special issue contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and faithfully recreates the original 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar as part of the Mint’s “Best of the Mint” Semiquincentennial program celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. Each coin arrives in official U.S. Mint packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it a centerpiece for any America 250 or classic-design gold collection.

First issued in 1916, Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty half dollar was praised as one of the finest artistic achievements of the early 20th-century “renaissance” in U.S. coinage. The obverse shows Liberty striding confidently toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying laurel and oak branches, symbols of victory and civic strength. The reverse depicts a powerful eagle perched on a rocky crag, wings unfolded as if ready to launch. These halves circulated through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and World War II, leaving a lasting impression on generations of Americans. The design’s legacy continues today on the American Silver Eagle, introduced in 1986 and still one of the world’s most collected bullion coins.
