(adj.)
“Accolated” is a coin design term used to describe two overlapping portraits facing the same direction (either right or left), implying a shared vision or resolve. It is a synonym of both conjoined and jugate.
American coins with accolated design motifs tend to be higher-denomination issues, since more space is generally needed for multiple portraits. These include:
