| Reverse description | A boldly rendered standing lion facing left dominates the field, bearing a shield charged with the Union Flag executed in intricate surface animation replicating the flag's diagonal and horizontal stripes. The design is set against a finely detailed background that accentuates the heraldic character of the composition. The Latin legend LEO BRITANICVS arcs around the upper periphery, while the lower legend contains the denomination, fineness, and date: DL 1 OZ 999.9 - 2025 - FINE GOLD. The engraver's initials DL appear within the design field. |

| Additional information |
The "British Lion" branding is a relatively recent Royal Mint initiative, repositioning the standard gold bullion sovereign-family coinage toward a mass retail investment market increasingly dominated by the Canadian Maple Leaf and Austrian Philharmonic. The .9999 fineness — finer than the traditional sovereign standard of .9167 — reflects that competitive pressure directly.
First year of issue under Charles III following his accession in September 2022.
