CoinGold Tenth-Ounce 2025 The Lion and The Eagle

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one-tenth ounce (1/10 oz) gold coins are denominated as Ten Pounds (£10) and have been issued since 1987.

These coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with other denominations with the same reverse designs.

This coin is part of a series designed by John M. Mercanti, who was the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1991 until his retirement in late 2010.

The Royal Mint says about the series:
The British Lion and American Eagle appear together once more on a 2025-dated bullion coin range. Beautifully realised by John M. Mercanti, the reverse design features on all the available editions, including a tenth-ounce gold bullion coin.

The harmonious composition by the former Chief Engraver at the US Mint brings the lion and eagle together to embody the spirit of the United Kingdom and the United States. Representing the shared values and continuing relationship between two countries the icons are seen facing outwards and side by side.
