Commentary

Construit entre 1732 et 1753 pour abriter l’assemblée coloniale de Pennsylvanie, l’Independence Hall est le bâtiment de Philadelphie où fut signée la Déclaration d’indépendance (1776) et fut adoptée la Constitution américaine (1787).
En 1976, le Bicentenaire de l’Indépendance fut l’objet de nombreuses commémorations. L’US mint frappa pour l’occasion une série de trois monnaies :
- 1/4 dollar au tambour
- 1/2 dollar Independence Hall
- 1 dollar Liberty Bell.
