2026 France 1 oz Gold History of American Independence: Liberty

Struck by the historic Monnaie de Paris, this modern gold coin represents a magnificent cross-cultural tribute to the 250th anniversary of the United States. Released in 2026 as part of a thematic series that first launched in 2020, the coin is minted from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine gold. With an extremely limited mintage of just 250 pieces, it stands as a highly exclusive numismatic creation. The obverse of the coin features an allegorical pairing of Minerva and Lady Liberty together supporting a flame. This side carries the Latin inscription LIBERTAS POPULUSQUE UNIVERSALIS alongside the date of 4 July 2026. The historic date of July 4, 1776, is also commemorated on the coin in Roman numerals as JULY IV MDCCLXXVI. On the reverse, a classic profile bust of Liberty is displayed, bearing the signature DUPRE. This 200 Euro denomination coin beautifully blends historical symbolism with modern French minting precision, capturing the shared ideals of freedom that connect two nations.
