I suppose it is an investment coin but have you seen the "Britannia and Liberty unite" coin?
I'd put a picture up if it was easier to do.

In my opinion they have taken two nice coins that are VERY different and made one HORRIBLE coin.
What do you think?

I agree. 
It's truly a bad design.

The reverses of the US versions are really bad. The Mint could have done a much better job.

I like the Morgan dollar. I like the Britannia dollar (pound). I don't like either of these. t would have been better if they had a privy of the other country on the standard coin.

The Royal Mint also did a British Lion and the American Eagle coin as well.

Thanks, that is definitely better than the US one.

I think the UK British Lion and the American Eagle coin is a better design than the UK Britannia and Liberty coin.
