This reverse proof finish one-quarter ounce 24-karat gold coin from the United States Mint was issued to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage, which departed England in September 1620 and, after a tumultuous two-month journey, reached the shores of Cape Cod, in present day Massachusetts that November. The obverse depicts a Wampanoag family watching from the border of the design as the Mayflower arrives from foreign shores. A young boy steps on the border, representing the intersection of the Wampanoag people in their Patuxet homeland and the Mayflower passengers. The reverse design depicts portraits of a Pilgrim man and woman, representing the beginnings of a transition from monarchy to democracy. The dual portraits symbolize a democratic organization, with their resolute expressions focused on a self-determined future. A pair of mayflower blossoms flank the design.
