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.
This series employs the symbolism of nature to chronicle America’s journey through its founding documents, collectively known as the Charters of Freedom.
The first coin in the series is the 2026 Charters of Freedom Platinum Proof Coin – Declaration of Independence.

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.”
