The US Mint and the Royal Mint joined efforts to pay tribute to the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower's arrival on the American continent by producing a couple of commemorative gold coins.

The American coin consists of a 99.99% pure gold coin weighing 1/4 Troy Oz, issued in the West Point branch of the US Mint. The alluring design honors the Mayflower vessel and the first 102 European colonists of the New World, which would become the United States in the future.

The Design

The obverse features the Mayflower, guided by the North Star, approaching the American coast in Plymouth, MA, as witnessed by a native Wampanoag family.

The engravings on this side correspond to the coin’s face value at the bottom, “$10”, the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “PATUXET,” the native Wampanoag word for the Plymouth coast.

The reverse design displays a Pilgrim man and a woman staring firmly, representing the arrival of a new democratic culture focused on self-determined organization.

The inscriptions on the outer rim, separated by two mayflower blossoms, read “1920 PLYMOUTH 2020” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

In the inner circle accompanying the image, the engravings start with the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “AU 24K 1/4 OZ,” referring to the coin’s metal content, fineness, and weight. They are completed by the initials of the Chief Engravers who designed this commemorative coin and the “W” mint mark from the West Point branch.

Since it is a reverse-proof coin, its surfaces display a matte finish, contrasting with the brilliant images imprinted over them.
