In the exciting world of numismatics, few names inspire as much admiration and excitement as those of John Mercanti and Joaquin Jimenez.
The result of their collaboration on a single coin marks the start of a collection that perfectly embodies the longstanding Franco-American friendship.
Joaquin Jimenez, head of the engraving workshop at MdP since 2008 and general engraver since 2020, is renowned worldwide for his original and elegant coin designs. France owes him many coins, francs and euros, including the recent national obverses of the €1 and €2, et 10, 20 and 50 cents.
John Mercanti joined the United States Mint in 1974. He officially held the position of Chief Engraver for one year, until his retirement in 2010. He is the employee who designed the most coins and medals in the history of the United States Mint, including the reverse of the famous American bullion: the American Silver Eagle.
The obverse of this coin depicts Lady Liberty, designed by Joaquin Jimenez, 27th general engraver of Monnaie de Paris. The reverse of the collection was designed by John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
