For centuries, the lion has stood as a lasting symbol of British authority and monarchy. Its use dates back to medieval England, where lions appeared prominently on royal banners and coats of arms. By the 12th century, three lions were firmly established as a symbol of English kings, representing bravery, leadership, and strength. Even though lions do not naturally live in Britain, the animal became closely tied to the nation’s royal identity and enduring presence on the world stage.

All 2026 1 oz British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coins are struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin contains 1 troy oz of .9999 pure gold. Individual coins are housed in protective plastic flips, while bulk quantities are available in plastic tubes of 10 coins or Monster Boxes holding a total of 100 coins. Each Monster Box contains 10 tubes neatly packed inside.

The obverse of the 2026 British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin features the official effigy of King Charles III created by Martin Jennings. The portrait shows His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown, following traditional British coinage design. This first-generation effigy debuted in late 2022 and is now standard on modern UK coins.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin, a bold scene showcases the British lion alongside the American bald eagle. The lion stands firmly along a coastal landscape, while the eagle glides above with outstretched wings. The pairing highlights the strength and heritage of both nations through a balanced and detailed composition by artist Jonathan Olliffe.
