The Commander Series showcases an alluring collection of high-purity gold and silver coins, crafted with exceptional craftsmanship and dedicated to introducing the world’s most influential military and political figures. Previous releases have highlighted leaders such as Napoleon Bonaparte, General Patton, Hernán Cortés, Emperor Julius Caesar, Ulysses S. Grant, and Charlemagne.
Now, the collection pay homage to its latest figure, George Washington, as the first Commander release offered as a stunning gold-gilded silver coin. Limited to a mintage of only 10,000 and struck from 1 troy oz of .9999 pure silver, each gilded coin is sealed in a custom Commander Series tamper-evident Certi-Lock®.
As we approach one of the most important milestones in American history—the 250th Anniversary of American Independence—the Scottsdale Mint proudly unveils the most highly anticipated addition to the Commander Series: General George Washington. To honor this momentous release, each coin features the first and only Privy Mark ever used in the series: a striking Liberty Bell engraved with a bold “250,” officially designated as the Freedom Privy. This powerful symbol elevates the coin into a true collector’s piece, commemorating both a legendary leader and a once-in-a-lifetime patriotic celebration.
George Washington stands as one of the greatest figures in American history — a brilliant commander, fearless leader, and the steady hand that guided a nation’s birth. From his bold victory at Trenton, where he crossed the icy Delaware River to strike a decisive blow on Christmas of 1776, to the pivotal triumph at Yorktown that secured America’s independence, Washington proved time and again that he possessed unmatched courage and strategic genius. As the nation’s first president, he set the gold standard for leadership, integrity, and vision. The George Washington Commander release celebrates not just a founding father, but a legendary hero whose strength, honor, and unwavering resolve shaped the United States itself.

The Design
The obverse depicts George Washington wearing a tricorne hat. During the Revolutionary War, he required officers to wear cockades on their hats to help identify rank, since the Continental Army had no standard uniforms. It also features the inscriptions “WASHINGTON” and “2026.”
In this coin, George Washington’s bust is golden due to the gilded finish on the obverse, while the reverse remains monochromatic silver.
The reverse imprints the Coat of Arms of Samoa and the coin’s monetary denomination, purity, metal content, and weight through the engravings “TWO DOLLARS,” “9999 FINE SILVER - 1 TROY OZ.”
