Reverse

In the reverse design of the coins in the 1976 Bicentennial Black Ruthenium Colorized Coin Set, the US Mint introduced commemorative designs only struck on the coins in 1975 and 1976. The image of the Apollo 11 patch on the dollar was replaced by that of the Liberty Bell in front of the Moon. The Presidential Seal on the half dollar was replaced by an image of Independence Hall. On the quarter, a drummer from the Continental Army replaced the bald eagle. Each one of these designs has beautiful colorizations with hues that bring the images to life.

History

The Bicentennial coinage was struck in 1975 and 1976, but none of the coins feature a 1975 date mark. All of the Bicentennial releases had a dual date of 1776-1976 to denote the Bicentennial of the nations founding. These coins come from the cupro-nickel circulation release.
