Stories of the Loch Ness Monster became widely known after a newspaper report published in the Inverness Courier on May 2, 1933. The article described a local couple, John and Aldie Mackay, who claimed they saw a large disturbance in the waters of Loch Ness. Located in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness is a deep freshwater lake often surrounded by mist, and its dark waters have helped inspire legends for generations.

On the obverse of the 2026 British Gold Loch Ness Monster Coin is a portrait of King Charles III. The King is shown in left-profile relief in a design created by Martin Jennings. This effigy, introduced in 2022, depicts His Majesty without a crown and serves as the first official portrait of Charles III used on British coinage.

The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Loch Ness Monster Coin features the famous creature rising from the waters of the loch. Often called “Nessie,” the monster is commonly imagined as a large animal with a long neck and small head, similar to a plesiosaur. The design is set against the natural scenery of Loch Ness, a body of water stretching more than 23 miles long and reaching depths of over 750 feet, making it an ideal setting for one of Scotland’s most enduring legends.
