The lion was introduced to British heraldry during the 12th century, largely through the influence of the Plantagenet dynasty and the broader European heraldic tradition that emerged during the age of the Crusades. The Royal Mint celebrates this iconic symbol of British strength in a new bullion range launched in 2025. Right now, 2025 1 oz British Silver The British Lion Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2025 1 oz British Silver The British Lion Coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is individually packaged in a plastic flip. Multiples ship in either tubes of 25 coins or boxes of 500 coins. The coins in this new series come with a new security element in the reverse background field. The Royal Mint has introduced a unique surface animation in the background that depicts the Union Flag.
Richard I “the Lionheart” (1189-1199) is often credited with establishing the three lions passant guardant as a symbol of English royal authority, though heraldic lions appeared in various forms across British noble families during this formative period of medieval heraldry. However, King Henry I (1100-1135) was often known as the Lion of Justice and is rumored to have had a menagerie of exotic animals in Oxfordshire that included lions.
In the obverse of 2025 British Silver The British Lions, you will find a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed in 2022 by Martin Jennings, this is the first-ever bust of Charles III for British currency and it depicts His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown.
For the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Silver The British Lion Coin, you will find the mighty British Lion. Designed by David Lawrence, the coin features a large lion seated in left-profile relief with its mouth open as it roars and its right forepaw raised to rest on a circular shield.
