Comment
Part of 5 coins set:
The Red Lion is probably one of the most common names for a pub. It originates from the time of James VI of Scotland and I of England, uniting the Scottish and English crowns in 1603.
To emphasise the newfound union between the crowns of Scotland and England, James decreed that the heraldic red lion of Scotland should be displayed on all buildings of importance – which included pubs.
Interesting fact
The coin features a unique reversible design, meaning that the coin can be flipped over to reveal a different image. On one side, the coin features an image of Charles III, while on the other side, it features an image of a traditional British pub, specifically the Red Lion. This unique design element adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin.
