2026 Gibraltar £2 1/2-oz Gold Liberty & Britannia Proof w/OGP

A Monumental Collaboration Between Two Numismatic Giants

For the first time ever two of the world’s most legendary coin artists have joined forces to create a beautiful coin that celebrates the 250th Anniversary of American Independence with a design that unites the allegorical representations of both Great Britain and America on one stunning design. This Liberty & Britannia coin is the result of a monumental collaboration between America’s John Mercanti and Great Britain’s Raphael Maklouf. Together, their design pays tribute to freedom, friendship, and shared greatness.

John Mercanti & Raphael Maklouf 

Mercanti, the now-retired 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint who has designed more coins than any engraver in U.S. history, and Maklouf, the founder of London’s world-renowned Tower Mint and the famed sculptor of Queen Elizabeth II’s third official coinage portrait, are two generational giants of modern coin design. Their designs have graced coins that have circulated around the world and have left a lasting impression on numismatics with legacies that will influence generations to come. 

Symbolic Depictions Of Lady Liberty & Britannia

The design on this 2026-dated coin shows Maklouf’s Britannia on the left wearing her classic Corinthian helmet. Mercanti’s depiction of Lady Liberty appears on the right as a close-up of the Statue of Liberty. Britannia is a timeless emblem of Britain’s strength, protection, and maritime power. Lady Liberty represents freedom, democracy, and the enduring spirit of the United States. Framing the two is a circular border of stars, culminating in the inscription “FREEDOM,” the unifying principle that binds these two great nations together.
