The Bond Between Two Nations
Potent symbols of courage, strength and freedom, the British lion and the American eagle characterise the spirit of each nation. Richly historic and instantly recognisable, together they represent the shared values and enduring relationship between two countries that have traditionally stood shoulder to shoulder.
Presented together, the lion and eagle commemorate the enduring relationship between these two nations.
Award-winning artist and twelfth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, John M. Mercanti has beautifully captured these proud national emblems.
