CoinSilver Five Ounces 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 five ounce (5 oz) silver coins are denominated as ten pounds (£10).

The 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 smaller 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 five-ounce silver bullion coin.

The reverse design brings two national emblems together in one harmonious composition. Powerfully conveying courage, strength and freedom, the British lion and American eagle embody the spirit of their respective nations. Instantly recognisable, these icons represent the shared values and enduring relationship between two countries that so often stand side by side.
