Reverse

The reverse of the 1/2 oz Silver 250th Anniversary of The United States of America Round presents President George Washington riding on horseback. Washingtons leadership helped shape the nation from its earliest days. As head of the Continental Army, he guided American forces during the Revolutionary War. He later served as the first president and established important traditions, including stepping away after two terms. His influence also extended to the Constitutional Convention, where he supported the creation of a lasting national government. The inscriptions read SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL OF AMERICA, 1776-2026, and 250 YEARS OF FREEDOM.

History

The founding of the United States began with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The 56 signers committed themselves to the cause despite the risks involved. Their actions helped turn a colonial movement into a new nation built on shared principles and long-term vision.
