The unprecedented crossover underscores his personal efforts to combat “grade inflation.”
Through a carefully crafted progression of environmental motifs, the new platinum proof coin series traces the transformational impact of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, together illustrating a living embodiment of our American democracy. Individually, these documents express the principles and ideals of American sovereignty, outline our system of government, and define the rights of states and citizens. Collectively, they mark the birth of the United States and our enduring commitment to American liberty.
The first coin in the series is the 2026 Charters of Freedom Platinum Proof Coin – Declaration of Independence.
Obverse Description
The obverse design depicts sun rays beginning to emerge through storm clouds, representing both the dawn of a new nation arising from the turmoil of revolution and the Enlightenment ideas that influenced the Declaration of Independence. A quill symbolizing the Declaration sweeps over the landscape, marking our Nation’s founding and the power of the revolutionary ideas to catalyze change. The design features 13 stars along the border representing the original 13 colonies. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “2026,” AND “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.”
Reverse Description
The common reverse design for this series depicts an eagle in flight, an olive branch in its talons. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “$100,” “1 OZ.,” and “.9995 PLATINUM.”
