Just before dawn on April 19, 1775, colonial minutemen and British troops stand face to face in rural Massachusetts. Tension fills the air. Suddenly, a single shot rings out—the shot heard round the world.

For the first time, The Royal Mint commemorates the American Revolutionary War with the 2025 £100 1 oz Battles of Lexington and Concord Gold Proof Coin. Struck to honor 250 years since the first shots of the Revolution, this coin pays tribute to a pivotal moment that reshaped history.

A Design that Captures History

Obverse – Features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.

Reverse – Designed by former U.S. Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso, the reverse vividly portrays the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first major clash of the American Revolution. The intricate design includes key historical details, such as Paul Revere's legendary midnight ride and the Old North Church's signal lanterns, two crucial moments that set the battle in motion.
