The Lion and The Eagle 1 oz Gold 2026
The Lion and The Eagle 1 oz Gold 2026 is a prestigious bullion coin struck from pure gold, symbolically and powerfully combining two mighty national emblems – the British Lion and the American Eagle. The 2026 issue continues the international series that, following its debut in 2024, has gained strong recognition among investors and collectors worldwide.
The design by renowned engraver Jonathan Olliffe harmoniously unites both symbols in a single, coherent composition. The Lion, long associated with courage, strength, and the monarchic tradition of Great Britain, and the Bald Eagle – a symbol of freedom, independence, and power of the United States – together express the idea of lasting partnership and shared values connecting both nations.
The coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold in bullion standard. It has a diameter of 32.69 mm and a face value of £100, confirming its status as legal tender. The high purity of the metal and classic form make it an attractive choice for both long-term investors and those diversifying their precious metals portfolio.
The The Lion and The Eagle series celebrates the historical, cultural, and political bond between Great Britain and the United States – a relationship built on cooperation, shared ideals, and mutual support on the international stage. The one-ounce gold edition for 2026 highlights the investment-focused nature of this symbolic release.
