2026 ANA World Money Fair Coin - 1oz Gold

The 2026 ANA coin is a tribute to not only the host city for the largest US coin show, but also a tribute to THREE significant people in the field of Numismatics.

The reverse highlights a statue that sits at the entrance of Mary Schenley Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This statue called “A Song to Nature” was created by Victor David Brenner. The same artist that created the Lincoln Penny. The statue shows Pan, the Earth God awakening to the harmony and magic tones sung to the Lyre by an allegorical figure representing Humanity. To the right of the statue is a medalic image of Victor David Brenner. A bald eagle flies overhead carrying a ribbon with the dates 1776-2026 to honor America’s 250th anniversary.

In between the eagle and the portrait of Brenner is a privy mark of Ben Franklin’s military hat along with the initials of PEM. These initials stand for Patrick Emmett McBride who has become famous for his role playing of Ben Franklin at major coin shows and events. Patrick was also the President of the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists. Sadly, Patrick passed away earlier this year. 

The obverse shows an allegorical figure of Nomisma, which is the Greek word for “Money”. She is shown standing and holding in her left hand the reverse side of the 2025 US Platinum Eagle which also serves as the official logo for the 2026 ANA World’s Fair of Money. “E Pluribus Unum” is shown in the legend which translates to “Out of many, one”. This represents everybody in the hobby coming together under one event.

This coin is designed by International Master Coin Designer, Joel Iskowitz. This is the third coin in the series designed by Joel. Unfortunately, Joel passed away earlier this year which makes this the final coin that he designed over his long and distinguished career.
