Description
2025 1 oz British Gold The British Lion Coin (BU)

Featured on the obverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold The British Lion Coin is a likeness of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed by Martin Jennings in 2022, this portrait is the first of its kind for British currency, portraying the king in a left-profile view without a crown.
The reverse of the 2025 British Gold The British Lion features a striking portrayal of the British Lion. Crafted by artist David Lawrence, this side reveals a formidable lion seated in left-profile relief, roaring with its mouth agape and its raised right forepaw poised atop a circular shield.
The heraldic lion has evolved significantly throughout British history, adapting to changing artistic styles and political circumstances. During the medieval period, lions were often depicted in a more stylized, symbolic manner, but Renaissance and later periods saw increasingly naturalistic representations.
These 2025 1 oz British Gold The British Lion Coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and housed individually in plastic flips. Multiples come in either tubes of 10 coins or Monster Boxes of 100 coins. Each coin has a new surface animation security element on the reverse that showcases the Union Flag.
