What is a bicentennial coinage?

A bicentennial coinage is a series of coins issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of a significant event or occasion. Typically, bicentennial coins feature special designs and motifs related to the event being celebrated and may be issued in different denominations or metals to mark the occasion. These commemorative coins are often released by governments or mints to honor historical milestones, anniversaries of important figures or events, or to celebrate national achievements or cultural heritage. Bicentennial coinages are significant collectibles, both historically and numismatically, and are often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
