The 2020 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage Silver Proof Coin and Medal Set commemorates a historic event that profoundly shaped the course of American history. In 1620, the Mayflower, a ship carrying a group of English Pilgrims seeking religious freedom, made a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of present-day Massachusetts.
The Mayflower voyage marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the United States, as the Pilgrims established the Plymouth Colony and laid the foundations for the principles of religious tolerance and self-governance that would later become hallmarks of American society.
The design of the 2020 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage Silver Proof Coin and Medal Set pays homage to this historic journey and its significance in the story of America's founding. The obverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of the Mayflower ship sailing on rough seas, symbolizing the challenges and uncertainties faced by the Pilgrims as they embarked on their voyage.
On the reverse of the coin, a representation of the Mayflower Compact is showcased, underscoring the Pilgrims' commitment to establishing a self-governing community based on democratic principles. The Mayflower Compact, signed by the passengers of the Mayflower upon their arrival in Plymouth, is regarded as one of the earliest examples of democratic governance in America.
