Kickoff Commemoratives

The U.S. Mint has released its 2026 FIFA World Cup commemoratives. The collection includes a $5 gold coin, a silver dollar, and a clad half dollar.

The obverse of the $5 gold coin depicts the globe as a soccer ball with North America in the center. The inscription FOOTBALL UNITES THE WORLD • IN GOD WE TRUST • 2026 • LIBERTY also appears along the rim. The obverse of the silver dollar depicts a soccer player kneeing a ball with the FIFA 2026 logo in the background. On the clad half dollar’s obverse, a player executes a bicycle kick with the stacked “26” from the FIFA logo in the background. The common reverse for the collection features three hands holding the FIFA World Cup trophy against a stylized stars-and-stripes design. The $5 gold coin includes a West Point (W) mintmark, and the silver dollar and half dollar were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. 

Mintages are 100,000 (gold $5), 500,000 (silver $1), and 750,000 (clad half dollar). Offered individually in proof and uncirculated versions, as well as a three-coin proof set, the World Cup commemoratives are available for pre-order, with an expected shipping date of July 15. All surcharge proceeds will go to youth soccer programs benefiting military families. 

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday, June 11, with Mexico vs. South Africa at the Mexico City Stadium, as well as Korea Republic vs. Czechia at Estadio Guadalajara. The first match for the United States will take place on Friday, June 12, at the Los Angeles Stadium.
