    Additional DATA:
    The British £2 sterling silver proof coins in the "Mayflower 400" 2020 Collection commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage.
    The obverse, heads, offer a right-profile portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown in the fifth-generation design from Jody Clark.
    The UK Royal Mint and the US Mint honor the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage with a £2 Sterling Silver Proof Coin as well as a combined £2 Sterling Silver Proof Coin and Proof Medal Set. This is the first American and British pairing of a silver proof coin and a silver proof medal.
    The United States Mint medal, and the reverse of the UK coins, were all designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program designer Chris Costello, who used multiple stylistic elements to tie the series together. These include the choice of font and North Star on the U.K. coin, which connects to the image of the sun in the U.S. Medal, symbolizing a new day.
    Costello’s reverse design on these coins depicts the Mayflower bursting out of the frame as it sails through the rough seas.
    The Royal Mint's "Mayflower 400" collection also includes a brilliant uncirculated coin, an Piedfort Proof coin and the joint UK and US coin and medal set.
