Description
2025 1/4 oz British Gold The British Lion Coin (BU)
The lion was integrated into British heraldry in the 12th century, largely under the influence of the Plantagenet monarchy and the broader wave of heraldic customs that developed throughout Europe during the Crusades. In 2025, The Royal Mint pays tribute to this enduring emblem of British heritage with a newly launched bullion collection. Right now, 2025 1/4 oz British Gold The British Lion Coins are available.

Each 2025 1/4 oz British Gold The British Lion Coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These 1/4 oz gold coins arrive in plastic flips or acrylic tubes of 25 coins. The background on the reverse features a security element that depicts surface animation for the Union Flag.
Today, the lion remains ubiquitous in British heraldry and official symbolism, appearing prominently on the Royal Arms, where the English three lions occupy the first and fourth quarters, and serving as supporters alongside the Scottish unicorn. Lions feature extensively in the heraldry of British institutions, from universities and corporations to local councils and military regiments.
Displayed on the obverse of the 2025 British Gold The British Lions is a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This likeness, created by Martin Jennings in 2022, is the first official depiction of Charles III to appear on British currency, rendered in left-profile relief without the traditional crown.
Appearing on the reverse of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold The British Lion Coin is the stately British Lion. Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse showcases a powerful lion seated in a left-profile pose, its mouth open in a roar and its right forepaw elevated to rest against a round shield.
