Notable collaboration between the Royal Mint and US Mint

An exceptional collaboration has been forged between the Royal Mint and the United States Mint to create a series that pays homage to the national symbols of Britannia and Liberty in a unified design. The engravers of both mints, Gordon Summers and Joseph Menna, have joined forces for the first time to realize a joint design.

The design of this series presents Lady Britannia and Lady Liberty as equally prominent figures. These figures embody determination and freedom, core values ​​that characterize the national identity of both the United Kingdom and the United States.

Lady Britannia and Lady Liberty

In addition to the unique collaboration, the design itself is extraordinary. The wavy hair of Lady Britannia is intentionally depicted, as a reference to her historical connection to the sea. Naturally, she is depicted with her iconic trident. Remarkable is the symmetry between the torch and the trident, which unites the elements of fire and water and thus contributes to the duality of the design, as stated by Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint.

Joseph Menna, Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, emphasizes that Lady Liberty on the coin stands as a symbol of opportunities. This represents the many people who came to America from immigrant ships from Europe. Lady Liberty is not depicted on the coin as belonging to a specific ethnic background, making her emblematic of America as a whole.
