The legendary 1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, widely known as the “King of American Coins,” will be honored in 2026 with a remarkable new two-piece set from the United States Mint. This highly anticipated release pairs a one-ounce .9999 fine gold coin with a one-ounce .999 fine silver companion medal, celebrating one of the most famous designs in American numismatic history.
The 2026 1804 Draped Bust Dollar Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set represents the fourth installment in the U.S. Mint’s historic tribute program, which highlights iconic coins that helped shape the story of American money and collecting. These modern tributes connect classic designs from the earliest years of the United States Mint with contemporary minting technology and artistic interpretation.
Each set includes a 24-karat gold coin featuring the Draped Bust Dollar design associated with the historic 1804-dated issues, along with a companion silver medal that reimagines the classic theme in a modern style. The gold coin bears a Liberty Bell privy mark with the number “250,” commemorating America’s 250th Anniversary (1776–2026) and marking the upcoming United States Semiquincentennial.
Although dated 1804, the original silver dollars were actually struck decades later as diplomatic presentation pieces and quickly became legendary among collectors. Today, the 1804 Dollar is one of the most famous and valuable coins in the world, with only a handful of originals known to exist. Its mystique and historical importance have made it one of the most celebrated designs ever produced by the United States Mint.
The companion silver medal in this 2026 set offers a contemporary interpretation of the Draped Bust design, linking early American coinage with modern artistic expression. Together, the gold coin and silver medal celebrate the enduring legacy of the United States dollar and the remarkable history of American numismatics.
While the United States Mint has not yet announced final specifications, collector demand for this series has been exceptionally strong, and anticipation for the 2026 release is already building within the numismatic community.
Additional details including mintages, household order limits, and the official release date are expected to be announced by the United States Mint ahead of the anticipated summer 2026 launch.
LCR Coin will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available for this historic release.
