The Royal Mint introduced the British Lion-American Eagle bullion series in 2024 to widespread acclaim. Now, the series returns with the 2025 release, featuring a bold design that highlights the enduring partnership between the United Kingdom and the United States. Designed by John Mercanti, the former Chief Engraver of the US Mint, this coin is a striking addition to the series. Right now, 2025 British The Lion and The Eagle 5 oz Silver Coins are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 British The Lion and The Eagle 5 oz Silver Coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are safely housed in protective plastic capsules and feature an intricate reverse design that celebrates the special relationship between the UK and the US. John Mercanti, the celebrated designer and former Chief Engraver of the US Mint, created the reverse artwork for this unique series.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2025 British The Lion and The Eagle Silver Coin, you will find the effigy of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait of His Majesty, designed by Martin Jennings in 2022, marks the first-generation depiction of the King on British coins. The inscriptions include CHARLES III, D.G. REX F.D., and 10 POUNDS.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2025 The Lion and The Eagle 5 oz Silver Coin highlights the American bald eagle and the British Lion. The eagle is prominently featured in the foreground, while the lion appears in the background, both facing right in a majestic right-profile pose. The inscriptions read THE LION AND THE EAGLE, 2025, the JM initials of Mercanti, and the repeating phrase 5 OZ FINE SILVER 999.
History
The close alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States has deepened over decades, particularly following World War II. Initiatives like the Marshall Plan and collaboration during the Korean War and Suez Crisis helped solidify this bond. Intelligence-sharing efforts, such as the Five Eyes alliance, demonstrate the high level of trust between the two nations. Notable relationships between leaders, such as Thatcher and Reagan, highlight the importance of the partnership, which remains strong through shared diplomatic, military, and cultural ties.
