Introducing the groundbreaking 2024 G. Britain £25 1/4oz Proof 24K Gold and £2 Silver Britannia & Liberty 2 Coin Set! This first-of-its-kind design marks the historic collaboration between the Chief Engravers of the two largest mints in the world—the United States Mint and the Royal Mint. Despite appearing on coins of their respective nations for years, Lady Liberty and Britannia have never appeared alongside each other until now. Joseph Menna and Gordon Summers joined forces to craft a stunning design recognizing the long relationship between the United States and Great Britain.
The obverse depicts the stoic portraits of Lady Liberty and Britannia, featuring complementary and balancing elements similar to a playing card. Liberty, adorned with stars, carries a torch, while Britannia, wearing a Corinthian helmet, wields a trident. The reverse features the effigy of King Charles III, depicting a realistic and dignified portrait of the king.
Both coins in this set are struck in a stunning proof finish, with the £25 1/4oz Gold Britannia & Liberty Coin struck from 1/4oz of 24-karat gold, with a mintage of 700, while the £2 Silver Britannia & Liberty Coin is struck from 1oz of .999 fine silver, with a mintage of 12,300. Both coins are graded by NGC as a perfect-strike PF70 Ultra Cameo and certified as First Day of Issue. In addition, each coin comes slabbed with an NGC Royal Mint The Original Maker label, hand-signed by Gordon Summers—Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint. The set also includes Original Government Packaging for both coins.
