I have a riddle. Can anyone solve it?

In my mind’s eyes, I see three circles joined in priceless, graceful harmony.

Two full as the moon, one hollow as a crown.

Two from the sea, five fathoms down.

One from the earth, deep under the ground.

The whole, a mark of high renown.

Tell me, what can it be?
