| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail by engraver Martin Jennings, whose initials MJ appear in the lower field near the truncation. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·5 POUNDS, with the date 2026 inscribed in the lower arc of the coin. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, with the king depicted in a contemporary, unadorned style without crown or diadem. |

| Additional information |
The pairing references a long-running Royal Mint bullion and commemorative program built around British wildlife, though the specific combination here — lion and eagle — carries a more heraldic charge than the naturalist series that preceded it. The lion has anchored English royal symbolism since at least the reign of Richard I; the eagle's inclusion shifts the iconographic register toward something more continental, or more specifically toward the arms of Scotland's feudal past.
At 62.86 g, this is a two-troy-ounce piece — a format the Royal Mint has increasingly favored for proof silver issues targeting the collector market rather than bullion stackers.
