British Lion & American Eagle 1 OZ Gold

British Lion & American Eagle 1 OZ Gold coin features a majestic representation of two symbolic animals, the ‘British Lion’ and the ‘American Eagle’, united in a harmonious design. The two animals are meticulously detailed and depicted in a highly realistic manner, creating a representation that is close to reality.

The circle surrounding the two symbolic motifs of Great Britain and the United States places these powerful representatives of the animal kingdom at the centre of the viewer's gaze. To the left of the eagle is an olive branch.

Inside the circle, beneath the lion's mane, are the initials JM, which stand for John M. Mercanti, one of America's finest coin engravers. There is also a portrait of King Charles III, facing left. 

This one-ounce gold coin is a prestigious choice for investors and collectors. It combines the cultural heritage of both nations with exceptional purity, making this coin a valuable asset and a symbol of Anglo-American union. Its striking design and history make it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection, while offering the potential for long-term appreciation.

OBVERSE :

The obverse of the coin features a dynamic illustration of a British lion, depicted in a proud stance, and a majestic American eagle, a symbol of freedom and independence. This striking design underlines not only the strength and dignity of each nation, but also their historical relationship.

REVERSE :

The reverse features the now-familiar profile portrait of Charles III who, unlike his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, looks to the left. Around his portrait is the inscription: ‘CHARLES III. D. G. REX. F. D. 100 LIVRES’. The letters are abbreviations of the Latin ‘Dei Gratia Rex Fidei Defensor’, which translates as ‘By the grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith’.
