2026 American Declaration of Independence 250th Anniversary £2 1oz .999 Silver BU Coin in Capsule – United Kingdom – The Royal Mint
Celebrate 250 years since the adoption of the American Declaration of Independence with this 2026 £2 silver bullion coin from The Royal Mint. Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated bullion standard from one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this commemorative release combines precious-metal content with a defining moment in American history.
Designed by Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summers, the reverse brings together a powerful American bald eagle and a hand holding a writing quill, symbolising both the birth of the United States and the signing of the Declaration. The obverse carries Martin Jennings’ official portrait of King Charles III against a finely detailed radial security background.
With a maximum worldwide mintage of 250,010 coins, this is the BU bullion edition rather than the silver Proof version. Each coin is supplied in an individual transparent capsule for protection and is not accompanied by a Royal Mint presentation box or certificate of authenticity.
