The Lion and Eagle Bullion Coins

Royal Mint Official Partner

Chards are an official partner of The Royal Mint. The Lion and Eagle coin range, among other Royal Mint products, are sourced directly from their mint headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales.

What Is the Special Relationship Between the UK and the US?

On 5th March 1946, Prime Minister Winston Churchill introduced the term "special relationship" to describe the alliance between Great Britain and the United States. This unique bond began to develop in the early 20th century and was firmly established during the Second World War.

The phrase reflects the extraordinarily close ties shared by the UK and US across political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military, and historical spheres.

Britannia and Liberty Collection

The Lion and Eagle coins were not the only bullion coins created in collaboration between The Royal Mint and the US Mint. There is also the Britannia and Liberty collection. Originally released as coins and now available in bar form, the collection beautifully represents Lady Britannia and Liberty, symbolising the strength and freedom of both nations.
