2025 British Lion UK 1oz Silver Coin – Limited Edition

Step into a bold new chapter of British bullion with the 2025 British Lion 1oz Silver Coin, the debut release in an exciting coin series from The Royal Mint. With a limited mintage of just 50,000, this striking silver coin is as collectible as it is iconic.

Celebrating the lion as a historic symbol of Britain’s strength and sovereignty, the reverse features a commanding depiction of the lion standing proudly with shield in paw. Designed by artist David Lawrence, the image draws from centuries of heraldic tradition and is enhanced by a cutting-edge Union Flag surface animation,  blending heritage with modern minting innovation. Details of the coin’s weight, purity, and year of issue are also included.

The obverse displays the official uncrowned portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, created by renowned sculptor Martin Jennings, along with the coin’s face value.
