Description
The 2026 Lion & Eagle 1oz Gold Coin from The Royal Mint celebrates the enduring alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States through powerful national symbolism.
Artist Jonathan Olliffe has masterfully brought together two of the world’s most recognisable national icons – the British lion and the American eagle – in a design that powerfully conveys the shared values of courage and freedom that unite these two nations. This striking composition represents the special relationship and common bonds that have connected Britain and America throughout history.
The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings, while the reverse showcases Olliffe’s beautifully realised depiction of these two majestic creatures. This exceptional bullion coin serves as both a valuable investment and a meaningful symbol of international friendship and cooperation.
