The obverse of the 2026 1/4 oz Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coins features the effigy of King Charles III, created by Martin Jennings. His Majesty is depicted in left-profile relief, appearing without a crown. This portrait represents the first-generation likeness of King Charles III used on British coinage and was completed in late 2022.

On the reverse of the 2026 British Gold The Lion and The Eagle Coin, a detailed image of a lion and an eagle is displayed. The design shows a commanding lion standing along a windswept coastline, while a powerful bald eagle glides through the sky above, creating a striking scene that reflects strength and balance.

The bald eagle became the national bird of the United States in 1782, chosen by the founding fathers for its majestic appearance and exclusive presence in North America. With its striking white head, powerful build, and impressive wingspan, the eagle represents freedom, independence, and the soaring ambitions of the young republic. Benjamin Franklin famously preferred the wild turkey, but the bald eagle’s fierce demeanor and its habit of building nests high above the land captured the revolutionary spirit of a nation breaking free from colonial rule.
