Just hours are left before sales end for the 2024 Liberty & Britannia Gold Coin and Silver Medal, a pair of collectibles described as a "First-Of-Its Kind Design Collaboration" between the world’s two largest mints, the United States Mint and Britain’s Royal Mint, and their Chief Engravers.
On Feb. 8, sales for the pair opened for pre-orders. The ordering window is only 30 days, which ends today at 3:00 p.m. ET.
Their obverses, created by Joseph Menna, Chief Engraver at the United States Mint, and Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver at The Royal Mint, feature depictions of Liberty and Britannia. Liberty has been symbolized on American coinage since the early years of the nation, while Britannia has been an esteemed icon on British coins since the late 1600s.
Their reverse sides, designed solely by Joseph Menna, depict the sun ascending over the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by two coastlines. On the western side stands a Great Basin Bristlecone Pine tree, while on the eastern side stands an English Yew tree. These elements serve as symbols of the nations involved and the potential for their lasting friendship.
