A 1 oz Silver Proof Coin Honoring Three Icons of Numismatics
The 2026 Ascension Islands ANA Eagle 1 oz Silver PF70 UCAM Coin — Hand Signed by Joel Iskowitz pays tribute to the ANA host city and three influential figures in American numismatics. As a result, the release carries artistic, historical, and emotional weight that sets it apart from standard show‑issue coins.
A Reverse Filled With Symbolism and Legacy
The reverse centers on “A Song to Nature,” the statue created by Victor David Brenner, the same artist behind the Lincoln Cent. Pan awakens to Humanity’s music, symbolizing harmony and renewal. A medallic portrait of Brenner appears beside the statue, honoring his impact on American coinage. In addition, a bald eagle flies overhead carrying a ribbon marked 1776–2026, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. Between the eagle and Brenner’s portrait sits a privy mark of Ben Franklin’s military hat, paired with the initials PEM, honoring Patrick Emmett McBride—beloved reenactor, PAN President, and a cherished figure in the hobby. His passing earlier this year gives the tribute deep emotional resonance.
An Obverse Rooted in ANA Tradition
The obverse features Nomisma, the allegory for “Money,” holding the reverse of the 2025 Platinum Eagle, the official logo of the 2026 ANA World’s Fair of Money. The legend “E Pluribus Unum” reinforces unity within the hobby. Because of this, the obverse becomes a celebration of collectors coming together under one event.
The Final Coin Designed by Joel Iskowitz
This coin marks the last design created by Joel Iskowitz, the International Master Coin Designer whose work shaped modern numismatic art. His passing earlier this year makes this release a final chapter in a distinguished career. Consequently, the hand‑signed PF70 version carries exceptional collector significance.
Official Approval and Legal Tender Status
The design was reviewed and approved by the nine‑member board of the American Numismatic Association. It is also legal tender of the Ascension Islands, adding formal authenticity to its artistic narrative.
A Tribute to Art, History, and the People Who Shape the Hobby
The 2026 Ascension Islands ANA Eagle PF70 UCAM blends symbolism, artistry, and heartfelt tribute. Consequently, it stands as one of the most meaningful ANA‑related releases in recent years.
