| Reverse description | Central device within a raised inner circle depicts a majestic lion and a bald eagle in close composition, both facing right, rendered in fine sculptural relief by Jennifer Mellor. The lion, with a full flowing mane, is shown in a couchant posture, while the eagle with intricately detailed feathered wings is positioned in the foreground to the left, evoking the heraldic emblems of the United Kingdom and the United States respectively. Two symmetrical laurel branches frame the lower portion of the inner circle, and the date 2024 appears in the exergue below the inner circle. The legend THE LION AND THE EAGLE arcs along the upper periphery outside the inner circle, with the engraver's initials 'JM' appearing within the field at lower right. |

| Additional information |
The "Lion and the Eagle" pairing references the heraldic relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, a theme the Royal Mint has revisited periodically for collector issues targeting transatlantic buyers. The 2024 silver proof belongs to a broader commemorative program rather than any circulating series — no pound coin in this composition has ever entered general circulation.
