About this product
A bold fusion of artistry and symbolism, the 2025 British Lion & American Eagle 5oz Silver Bullion Coin unites two of the world's most recognised emblems.

Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, this second-year release celebrates friendship between nations - and strength in partnership. Substantial in size and sentiment, it's a statement piece for investors and collectors alike.

Product Description
When two nations share ideals of liberty, courage, and pride, a coin like this feels inevitable.
The British Lion and American Eagle 2025 Silver Coin continues The Royal Mint's celebrated transatlantic collaboration, first launched in 2024. Its commanding reverse design by John M. Mercanti, famed for the American Silver Eagle, places both creatures within a circular frame, their forms balanced yet untamed. Around the outer ring, the weight and fineness are neatly inscribed, underscoring its status as a bullion piece rather than a medallic design.
The obverse features Martin Jennings' official uncrowned portrait of King Charles III, accompanied by the £10 denomination and the inscription confirming British legal tender status. Each coin is struck to a bullion finish: crisp, bright, and robust enough for regular handling without the fragility of proof strikes.
At 63.75 mm in diameter, the five-ounce size allows the artistry to breathe - the lion's mane textured in fine detail, the eagle's feathers sharp and lifelike. Together they seem poised for flight or battle, yet framed in harmony. It's perhaps symbolic of how the United Kingdom and the United States stand independently yet side by side.
This coin is struck in pure silver and supplied encapsulated for protection. Whether you're adding weight to your portfolio or simply drawn to its design, it's one of the most impressive silver bullion releases of 2025.

Denomination Information
The British Lion and American Eagle series represents a modern chapter in The Royal Mint's bullion storytelling. Introduced in 2024, it marked a rare creative exchange between two of the world's most respected mints - The Royal Mint and the U.S. Mint.
For centuries, the lion has symbolised Britain's power and dignity. It appears throughout heraldry, coinage, and royal iconography as a creature of courage and authority. The eagle, meanwhile, has long been a symbol of the United States, representing freedom, strength, and independence since the country's founding.
The choice of John M. Mercanti to unite these two figures was inspired: his experience designing the original American Silver Eagle gives the coin both artistic authenticity and emotional weight. Combined with Martin Jennings' modern portrait of King Charles III, this issue bridges tradition and continuity across both nations.
The five-ounce format further amplifies the impact, a size suited not only to investors seeking volume in silver but also to collectors who appreciate large-format bullion coins that tell a story.
