Collaborative Design by The Royal Mint and US Mint

For the first time ever, the Chief Engravers of both The Royal Mint (Gordon Summers) and the US Mint (Joseph Menna) have collaborated to create a coin design. The result is a beautiful representation of Britannia and Liberty, showcasing their fortitude and freedom of both nations. When these two world powers work together, remarkable results are achieved.

The Special Relationship 

The phrase 'special relationship' gained widespread popularity following its inclusion in a speech delivered by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1946. In the speech, he discussed the level of cooperation between the UK and the US in all aspects compared to other world powers.

2004 Entente Cordiale Five Pound Coins

Twenty years ago, The Royal Mint released the 2004 Entente Cordiale £5 coins featuring a design of Lady Britannia and the national personification of the French Republic (Marianne). We believe that this design could have influenced the 2024 Britannia and Liberty design.

This design was created to commemorate the Entente Cordiale, a colonial-era agreement signed by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne, and the French Ambassador, Paul Cambon, in London on 8 April 1904.

The objective of the agreement was to settle long-standing disputes between the UK and France in multiple countries and was crucial in paving the way for Franco-British diplomatic and military cooperation in the lead-up to World War One.

What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levies imposed on the profit garnered from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT.

For UK residents, bullion coins which are UK legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT).

The obverse of the coin features the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings. The inscription reads:

CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 100 POUNDS ·

This reverse design was inspired by court cards. It features the two iconic personifications of the United Kingdom (Lady Britannia) and the United States (Lady Liberty), both taking equal prominence. The design symbolises the special relationship between the two powerful nations.

The legend reads as:

BRITANNIA AND LIBERTY
