The Lion and the Eagle 1/2 oz Silver 2026

The Lion and The Eagle 1/2 oz Silver 2026 is a prestigious bullion coin that strikingly combines two powerful national symbols – the British lion and the American eagle. This issue returns in 2026 following the very warm reception of the first release in 2024 and forms part of an international series available in both gold and silver.

The design by the acclaimed engraver Jonathan Olliffe harmoniously brings together both emblems in a single, cohesive composition. The lion, symbolizing courage, strength, and the monarchic tradition of Great Britain for centuries, and the bald eagle – an embodiment of freedom, independence, and the power of the United States – together reflect the spirit of shared values and the enduring relationship between the two nations.

The coin is struck from pure silver of Ag 999 fineness, with a weight of 1/2 troy ounce and a diameter of 32.60 mm. Thanks to its classic character, high-quality finish, and clear symbolism, it is an attractive choice for both experienced investors and those beginning to build their precious metals portfolio.

The The Lion and The Eagle series celebrates the historical and political bond between Great Britain and the United States – a relationship based on cooperation, shared ideals, and mutual support on the international stage. The 2026 issue also includes other weight variants in gold and silver, further emphasizing its universal appeal.

Obverse: features the portrait of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings, along with the year of issue 2026 and inscriptions characteristic of British coinage.

Reverse: a dynamic composition depicting the British lion and the American eagle, designed by Jonathan Olliffe – a powerful union of two national icons symbolizing strength, freedom, and partnership.
