Groom, Texas Route 66 Centennial Commemorative Coin

Route 66 Centennial Commemorative Coin – Groom, Texas

Small town. Landmark skyline. Unforgettable stop on the Mother Road. This Groom, Texas Centennial Commemorative Coin captures the quiet power and iconic character of one of Route 66's most recognizable — and spiritually moving — destinations in the Texas Panhandle.

Beautifully Laser Engraved in an aged brass finish, the front face brings Groom's legendary landscape to life in stunning raised relief. A vintage automobile winds down the open highway past the town's famous water tower, expansive grain elevators, and the towering cross that has made Groom a landmark for travelers near and far. Wind turbines dot the horizon, honoring the town's place in the modern Panhandle landscape, while the classic Route 66 shield anchors the scene below. The inscription "Route 66 · 1926 Centennial · 2026" and "Groom, Texas — The Mother Road" frame this beautifully detailed portrait of a true Texas icon.

The reverse side rounds out the story, showcasing the full 2,448-mile journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, with Route 66 landmarks etched across the coin's surface. It pays special tribute to Groom's identity as a Fuel & Service Stop along the highway and home to the beloved Leaning Tower of Texas — one of the road's most quirky and cherished roadside attractions.

Whether you've stopped in Groom to marvel at the cross, snap a photo of the leaning tower, or simply fill up and keep rolling, this coin is a timeless reminder of everything that makes Route 66 worth the drive.

Faith, history, and open road — all in the palm of your hand.
