2026 The Lion and the Eagle 1oz Gold Coin

This is a brand new 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold bullion coin from Royal Mint, celebrating the unique relationship between the US and UK. Bringing together two of the most powerful national symbols in modern bullion, the Lion and the Eagle 2026 1oz Gold Coin celebrates the enduring relationship between the united kingdom and the united states. Following its warmly welcomed debut in 2024, this striking range returns for 2026 with renewed confidence and timeless appeal.

Reverse Design Showcases a powerful meeting of national icons

The reverse design unites the British lion and the American eagle in a single, harmonious composition. Created by celebrated engraver Jonathan Olliffe, the design presents both figures as equal and resolute – a balanced expression of strength, courage and freedom.

The lion, synonymous with British heritage and authority, stands alongside the eagle, a symbol of independence, vision and liberty at the heart of the American identity. Together, they reflect shared values and a historic partnership that continues to shape both nations.

Crafted by a master engraver

Jonathan Olliffe’s distinctive style brings fresh interpretation to these instantly recognisable emblems. His design combines clarity, detail and symbolism, resulting in a modern bullion coin with strong visual impact and lasting significance.

A compelling choice for investors and collectors

Struck in 1oz of fine gold, the 2026 edition offers intrinsic value alongside meaningful design. Its international symbolism, precious metal content and limited annual issue make it an attractive addition to both investment portfolios and curated collections.
