Mark one of the defining moments in modern history with the 2026 American Declaration of Independence 250th Anniversary Silver Bullion Coin, struck by The Royal Mint from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver.

Issued to commemorate 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776, this distinctive British coin combines powerful American symbolism with the craftsmanship of The Royal Mint.

The coin features a specially created reverse design by Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summers, an official portrait of King Charles III, a legal-tender denomination of £2 and a maximum worldwide mintage of 250,010 coins.

Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence

Adopted on 4 July 1776, the Declaration of Independence announced that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as independent states, no longer subject to British rule.

The document became a defining moment in the formation of the United States and remains one of the most influential declarations of liberty, representative government and national independence.

Produced by Britain’s Royal Mint, this commemorative bullion coin reflects the long, complex and enduring historical relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

American Eagle and Quill Design

Designed by Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summers, the reverse brings together two powerful symbols associated with the Declaration of Independence.

A hand firmly holds a feather quill, representing the drafting and signing of the historic document, while an American bald eagle takes flight alongside it. The eagle represents the United States and the principles of freedom and independence associated with the anniversary.

The design is completed by the inscription:

250th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

The coin’s year, silver purity and precious-metal weight also appear within the reverse design.

King Charles III Obverse

The obverse bears the official uncrowned portrait of King Charles III, designed by British sculptor Martin Jennings.

The portrait is surrounded by the inscriptions:

CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS

These inscriptions confirm the monarch, denomination and status of the coin as United Kingdom legal tender.

One Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver

Each coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated bullion quality.

Its combination of intrinsic silver content, government-backed legal-tender status and major international historical theme gives it broad appeal to bullion buyers, Royal Mint collectors and enthusiasts of British or American history.

Maximum Mintage of 250,010

The bullion edition has a maximum worldwide mintage of 250,010 coins.

The unusual total directly references the coin’s 250th-anniversary theme while restricting the number available worldwide. This is separate from the significantly lower-mintage proof version produced for specialist collectors.

Protective Coin Capsule

This individual coin is supplied in a protective transparent capsule, allowing both sides to be viewed while reducing unnecessary contact with its bullion surfaces.

The capsule is supplied by the retailer and should not be described as boxed Royal Mint presentation packaging or as containing a Certificate of Authenticity.
