| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse, designed by Jody Clark, presents a majestic composition featuring a lion and a bald eagle in close juxtaposition, both facing right in profile, symbolising the alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The lion, rendered with a full flowing mane and powerful forepaws resting forward, occupies the upper right, while the eagle, depicted with finely detailed plumage and a commanding hooked beak, is positioned prominently to the left and slightly in front. The central group is framed within a raised inner circle, flanked on either side by sprays of olive or laurel branches extending from the lower field. The arc legend THE LION AND THE EAGLE runs along the upper periphery, the date 2023 appears in the lower exergue between the branch terminals, and the engraver's monogram JM is incused to the right of the central device. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The piedfort format — double the thickness of a standard coin struck from the same dies — has been a Royal Mint prestige offering since it was revived for collectors in 1982, drawing on a continental European tradition dating back to medieval France where pieforts were used as presentation pieces and die trials for assaying purposes. At 312 grams of .999 silver, this example sits at the heavier end of modern British piedfort production.
Charles III's accession coinage program in 2023 was the first full transition of British currency portraits in over seventy years, requiring extensive re-tooling across all denominations.
