Re: Silver Legacy Eagle Coin ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that it has a “British royal” on it because it was minted by the Cook Islands, which is closely tied to New Zealand. The coins are actually minted in partnership with the New Zealand Mint.

Thanks for posting the info. Most advertising I’ve seen for the coin does not show the reverse side. One such advertisement did show prince charles for about two seconds and that’s when I started looking it up. ( I just knew I was mistaken)

Oh well, it’s just a collector piece, but the Brit’s shouldn’t be on any coin advertised and stamped as U.S. regardless of where it was minted.
