His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse. American Eagle and British Lion on the reverse.
For the obverse of 2025 1 oz Silver The Lion and The Eagle Coins, the Royal Mint features an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. This is the first-generation portrait of Charles III during his reign and it was created in 2022 by Martin Jennings. This bust of His Majesty depicts the king in left-profile relief without a crown.
In the reverse design of 2025 British Silver The Lion and The Eagle Coins, the mint offers a design from John Mercanti that reflects the deep connection of the so-called special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. The American bald eagle and British Lion are featured in the central design with both icons looking to the right.
The UK-US special relationship was formalized during World War II through the close cooperation between Churchill and Roosevelt, though tensions existed in earlier periods over independence and the War of 1812. The alliance proved crucial during the Cold War, with both nations sharing intelligence and nuclear capabilities. Military collaboration remains strong through NATO, while economic ties are reinforced through substantial bilateral trade and investment. The cultural bond is equally significant, with shared language and media fostering deep connections.
