| 背面描述 | Central design within a raised circular border depicting a majestic lion and a bald eagle in close, harmonious composition, symbolising the alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. The lion, shown in profile facing right with a full, flowing mane rendered in exceptional sculptural detail, is positioned alongside the eagle, which faces left with its plumage intricately incised. The inner circle is flanked on either side by sprays of olive or laurel branches extending from the lower field, with the date 2023 inscribed at the base between the branches. The arc legend THE LION AND THE EAGLE is inscribed in the upper periphery, and the engraver's monogram JM appears at the lower right of the central device. |

| 附加信息 |
This piece belongs to the Royal Mint's 100mm, kilogram-class proof series — a format reserved for flagship issues where the Mint wants maximum canvas for sculptural relief work. The 2023 date places it in the first full year of Charles III's reign following his accession in September 2022, a transition that required the Royal Mint to retool obverse dies across the entire range simultaneously — an operational undertaking not seen since Elizabeth II's accession in 1952.
The lion and eagle pairing draws on heraldic traditions predating the Act of Union, though the specific artistic interpretation here is by Jody Clark, whose effigy of Charles III was confirmed as the standard coinage portrait in 2023 after extensive consultation.
