For this challenge, show us a joint release from two sovereign nations. These can be coins, medals, tokens, or any combination. There must be a least two countries and with at least one item for each. However, multiple countries and items are allowed. You can have two countries with two items each, or three countries with one item each, etc. They should have been issued in the same year, but I will allow a year or two difference, and need to celebrate the same person, event, or theme. That being said, just having a common standard obverse (e.g. QE II) is does not qualify so do not even think about posting two random 2022 coins from UK and NZ!  There should be some effort of coordination (official or de facto) between the two minting authorities to promote the joint release, but they do not need to have been sold as a set (as is my example below). They can be NCLT or circulating. I will select the winner based on age (older is better), likeness (composition, denomination), and quantity of items and/or countries. |

For my example, we have a two pounds coin (UK) and a silver medal (USA) issued together to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage.  |

Let me enter my pair of NZ Australian entente over the Anzac bond between the 2 countries.  NZ and Australian $5 coins showing Kiwi soldiers and Aussie Diggers.  Their pouches - came in the same set, but could be sold separately in home countries They were minted both in Australia and hence the same packaging, 38.4mm Aluminium Bronze.  |

Great entries! Since I am usually absent on the weekends, I plan to let this run until Monday. However, I may declare a winner Friday afternoon if submissions fall off.  |
