Silver Medal 2024 Liberty and Britannia, Coin from United States - detailed information

The obverse design depicts "the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean, framed by two shores with a Great Basin Bristlecone Pine tree in the west and an English Yew tree in the east, representing both nations and heralding new possibilities for their mutual friendship now and going forward".

On a wave below left, the P mint mark of the Philadelphia Mint. On a wave below right, the initials of the designer: JFM (for Joseph Francis Menna).

Around above, the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, below which in smaller letters LIBERTY AND BRITANNIA.

In a symmetric pattern at centre, the reverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty - a symbol of the United States, and Britannia - the female personification of the United Kingdom . They face in opposite directions, like the figures on a playing card.

Liberty is presented as a young woman with flowing hair, holding a flaming torch (overlaid on Britannia). Over her hair, and in the background, seven five-pointed stars. In small letters below the figure, the initials of the designer - JFM (for Joseph Francis Menna).

Facing the other way (so that the coin needs to be rotated to be seen properly), Britannia is shown as a young woman wearing a Corinthian helmet pulled up to reveal her face, holding a trident (overlaid on Liberty), as a symbol of the past maritime glory of England. In small letters below the figure, the initials of the designer - GS, for Gordon Summers.
