The obverse of the 2026 1/4 oz Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coins displays the official portrait of King Charles III. This effigy was created by British sculptor Martin Jennings and presents the monarch in left-facing profile without a crown. Introduced to British coinage in late 2022, this likeness marks the first-generation portrait of King Charles III and is now featured across multiple Royal Mint issues.

On the reverse of the 2026 British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin, a dramatic scene brings together two powerful national symbols. A lion is shown standing firmly along a rugged coastline, while a bald eagle soars overhead. The design balances land and sky, highlighting the shared themes of strength and endurance represented by both animals.

The bald eagle was officially selected as the national bird of the United States in 1782. Native only to North America, the species was admired for its size, sharp vision, and commanding presence. Its white head and dark body made it an easily recognizable symbol, while its habit of nesting high above the ground came to represent independence and vigilance. Although Benjamin Franklin argued in favor of the wild turkey, the bald eagle ultimately became a lasting emblem of American identity.

These 2026 1/4 oz British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coins are offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each 1/4 oz gold coin features .9999 pure gold and is packaged in either individual protective flips or plastic tubes holding 25 coins, depending on the order size.
