Despite appearing on coins of their respective nations for years, Lady Liberty and Britannia have never appeared alongside each other until now. This ground-breaking design showcases the collaborative talents of the world's two largest mints–the United States Mint and the Royal Mint. Featuring the artistic expertise of United States Chief Engraver Joseph Menna and Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summer, the 2024 Liberty & Britannia Silver Medal signifies the longstanding relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Struck at the prestigious Philadelphia Mint, this exquisite silver medal was crafted from 1 oz of .999 fine silver and has a diameter of 40.60 mm. Only 32,818 of these silver medals were struck, and each medal features a stunning proof finish, with frosted details rising above the mirror-like fields. NGC has graded each medal as a perfect strike, with a grade of PF70 Ultra Cameo. Additionally, each medal features the First Day of Issue designation and comes slabbed with NGC's Royal Mint The Original Maker Label, hand-signed by Gordon Summers—Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint.

Design

The obverse, resulting from the talents of Menna and Summers, depicts the stoic portraits of Lady Liberty and Britannia. The design features complementary and balancing elements similar to a playing card so that both allegorical figures can be fully appreciated. Liberty, adorned with stars in her loose flowing hair, carries a torch, symbolizing the American spirit of freedom. Britannia, wearing a Corinthian helmet, wields a trident, embodying the unity and historical strength of Great Britain.

The reverse, designed by Menna, showcases a vibrant sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean, framed by two shores, bridging the gap between the United States and Great Britain. A Great Basin Bristlecone Pine tree to the west represents the United States, while an English yew tree on the eastern shore represents Great Britain. The design perfectly signifies the strong bond between the two great nations, heralding new possibilities in the future.
