The lion became a fixture in British heraldry in the 12th century, largely due to the rise of the Plantagenet dynasty and the prevailing heraldic practices that spread across Europe during the Crusades. In 2025, The Royal Mint honors this enduring emblem of British power with the release of a new bullion series. Today, 2025 5 oz British Silver The British Lion Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
King Henry II (1154-1189) is credited with cementing the position of the lion in royal symbolism and heraldry, in part through his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine. In British heraldic tradition, the lion symbolizes courage, strength, nobility, and royal authority. When depicted rampant (rearing on hind legs), it represents fierce bravery and readiness for battle, while lions passant (walking) suggest dignity and steady resolve.
All 2025 5 oz British Silver The British Lion Coins available here come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are individually packaged in plastic capsules and feature a new reverse security element. The background boasts a surface animation capturing the Union Flag.
The obverse of the 2025 British Silver The British Lions showcases a depiction of His Majesty King Charles III. Created by Martin Jennings in 2022, this design marks the inaugural portrait of King Charles III on British coinage, capturing him in left-profile relief without a crown.
On the reverse of the 2025 5 oz Silver The British Lion Coin, the proud British Lion is featured. Conceptualized by David Lawrence, the reverse design displays a commanding lion seated in left-profile relief, its jaws open mid-roar, with its raised right forepaw resting confidently on a round shield.
