What Is the Special Relationship Between the UK and the US?

On 5th March 1946, Prime Minister Winston Churchill introduced the term "special relationship" to describe the alliance between Great Britain and the United States. This unique bond began to develop in the early 20th century and was firmly established during the Second World War.

The phrase reflects the extraordinarily close ties shared by the UK and US across political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military, and historical spheres.

Legacy of John M. Mercanti

John M. Mercanti, an accomplished American sculptor and engraver, served as the twelfth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 2006 until his retirement in 2010.

Mercanti is best known for creating the reverse design of the American Silver Eagle bullion coin, which featured on the series from its launch in 1986 until 2021. In recognition of his contributions to numismatics, Mercanti was named one of Coin World’s most influential figures in the field between 1960 and 2020.

Britannia and Liberty Coins

The Lion and Eagle coins were not the only bullion coins created in collaboration between The Royal Mint and the US Mint. In the same year, the 2024 Britannia and Liberty coins were also introduced. These coins beautifully represent Lady Britannia and Liberty, symbolising the strength and freedom of both nations.

Obverse

The obverse features the uncrowned portrait and first UK definitive coinage portrait of King Charles III designed by Martin Jennings. The inscription reads:

CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS ·

Reverse

The reverse design features the Lion and the Eagle seated side by side in commanding postures, both gazing to their left. The Lion’s paw extends beyond the central enclosed circle, creating a striking 3D effect that adds depth to the artwork. Encircling the design, the inscription reads as follows:

THE LION AND THE EAGLE 2025
