400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage Silver Proof Coin and Medal Set

Description

For the first time in history, the United States Mint and Great Britain’s Royal Mint have come together to jointly release sets of gold and silver products. These sets commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s historic voyage from Plymouth, England to the New World.

This Royal Mint-issued set contains two pieces: a one-ounce, highly pure 99.9% fine silver £2 coin from The Royal Mint, and a one-ounce, highly pure 99.99% fine silver medal from the U.S. Mint. Both pieces come in Proof condition, with frosty devices and mirrored fields.

The reverse of the Royal Mint coin depicts the Mayflower at full sail, with mayflower blossoms to either side. The obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II. The U.S. Mint coin pairs a reverse featuring an image of a Native American Wampanoag couple planting crops with an obverse showing a newly arrived Pilgrim couple with the Mayflower in the background. Both pieces were crafted by U.S. Mint designer Chris Costello. This marks the first time ever that The Royal Mint has issued a coin designed by a U.S. Mint designer!
