Perhaps it kind of says I've got your back and a thousand other quips you could think up about the relationship between the US and UK. If that was it's intention then it's not so bad

This is new to me, thank you for sharing.  Call me weird, I like them!  I need these to be sold in a two-piece set akin to the 2020 Mayflower offering.  |

Thanks for the link of the medal on the US Mint site but I still can't find it on the product schedule, so we have no idea when the coin will be offered by The Royal Mint and when the medal will be released by the US Mint as well as if there will be a set with both items. Since both mints are releasing items, my hope of the UK offering being a silver bullion release might be dashed now. Time will tell. One difference between these and they Mayflower items is that coin and metal had unique designs. If you want to waste a bit of time, do a Google search asking what is the difference between a trident and a pitchfork. My thought about we're on top, & you're upside down would be cool if there was even a joint coin release with a country like USA/UK/Canada and Australia or New Zealand. |

Lady liberty looks likes she's puckering up for a smooch.

I don't like Lady Liberty's eye being so closed, as if she's half asleep, squinting not looking into the future. Compare her to Britannia's eye, pass.

Reminds me of the Entente Cordiale crown of several years ago. Didn't like that one either.

Imagine that, another ugly coin from the us mint.
I'm wondering why there is no depiction of american liberty on the coin also? No tradition there just a a Chinese lady and a pirate or something.

Yup, not a fan, ever since I saw mockups for this design. Not executed nicely, imo.
