The Kennebunkport Collection™🎁

关于此套币: I am particularly proud of this commemorative set celebrating the "Pride of Two Nations" between the United States of America and our Northern Border neighbors, Canada. Both my maternal and paternal grandparents immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s to work in the textile mills.

This set was originally created in 2016 by the United States Mint and the Royal Canadian Mints and an annual tradition was born, the “Pride of Two Nations”. Produced at both United States’ West Point Mint and Canada’s Ottawa Mint, this set provides a way to celebrate the rich history and ongoing relationship between the two countries. This historic set is composed of an enhanced reverse proof Silver American Eagle and a modified proof Silver Canadian Maple Leaf.

The Silver American Eagle features Liberty striding forward, enveloped in the US Flag. She holds branches of laurel and oak in her left hand with her right outstretched. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle with shield, holding an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.

The Silver Maple Leaf features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s effigy. The background shows off radial lines, encircled by stars and maple leaves that radiate from behind the bust. The reverse of the Silver Maple is a lovely maple leaf on a similar background as the obverse.
