Comment
Issued originally in 2022 for a United States of America pension fund, no coins have made it to the open market as of yet. The Royal Mint sold a single Trial version of the coin. Unknown mintage, a silver 1oz version was due to be issued as well, however this has not yet made it to the open market.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the historic meeting between Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941, which took place on the HMS Prince of Wales in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. The coin's design depicts both leaders in conversation, with the background of the coin featuring the flags of the United States and the United Kingdom. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for anyone interested in history, politics, or numismatics.
