Crafted by the renowned John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, the 2024 Great Britain £2 1oz Silver Lion and Eagle is a powerful symbol of unity and an exceptional addition to any collection. Struck at the Royal Mint, this coin is a tribute to the lasting bond between the United States and the United Kingdom.

First-Ever Advance Releases World Coin

Certified by NGC and graded REVERSE PF 70, the Lion and Eagle series is the first world coin program to qualify for the prestigious Advance Releases designation. The Advance Releases pedigree is highly sought after due to its small population. The Advance Releases population is estimated to make up less than 10% of the total mintage for this release. With a mintage of 8,510, this coin is a rare and valuable piece worthy of any collection.

Martin Jennings Signature

Each coin features NGC's Royal Mint label hand-signed by Martin Jennings, the designer of King Charles III's effigy.

Liberty Bell Privy Mark

The coin's reverse includes a special, one-year-only Liberty Bell privy mark set against oak leaves, symbolizing the shared ideals of peace and strength. Originally cast in London and now residing in Philadelphia, PA, the Liberty Bell is a lasting symbol of freedom and unity.

Reverse Proof Finish

Struck from 1 ounce of .9999 fine silver with a reverse-proof finish, this coin exemplifies the Royal Mint's commitment to quality. The reverse proof finish enhances the design, creating a striking contrast between the frosted field and mirror-like details.

Coin Design

  • Obverse - The obverse features the first definitive portrait of King Charles III. Sculpted by Martin Jennings, the left-facing bust continues the tradition of alternating the monarch's profile with each succession, encircled by inscriptions proclaiming his regal titles. The design reflects the continuity of the British monarchy and the deep-rooted historical values of the United Kingdom.
  • Reverse - The reverse features England's lion and America's bald eagle, encircled by a laurel wreath. These iconic figures symbolize the virtues of valor and freedom, celebrating the shared history and mutual respect between the two nations. The reverse design also features John Mercanti's initials and a special Liberty Bell privy mark set against oak leaves, symbolizing the shared ideals of peace and strength.

Lion and Eagle Series

The Lion and Eagle series celebrates the enduring alliance between the United States and Great Britain, honoring the shared history and values of the two great nations.
