The British Lion and American Eagle are powerful symbols of their respective nations. The lion has represented Britain for centuries, originating in heraldry and first appearing on royal arms during the reign of Richard I (known as the Lionheart). Over time, it evolved from depictions of leopards into the three lions seen on England’s coat of arms today. The lion became a prominent emblem during the British Empire, often seen on military insignia and colonial crests.

The obverse of the 2025 British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin features a portrait of King Charles III. This left-profile depiction shows His Majesty without a crown, a design created by Martin Jennings for The Royal Mint in 2022.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin, John Mercanti’s design presents the American bald eagle and the British lion. The eagle sits in the foreground, gazing to its left, while the lion stands in the background, facing the same direction. This design beautifully represents the unity and strength of both nations.
