The 2026 Lochness Monster coin is a British 1oz silver coin, minted by the Royal Mint. The weight of the coin is 31.21 grams with a fineness of 999 this means it contains 31.10348 grams of pure silver. The diameter of the coin is 38.61mm.

The Lochness Monster has been Scotland's most famous mystery for generations. Sightings stretch back centuries, but the legend truly took off in 1934 with the infamous 'surgeon's photograph', and Nessie has been lurking in the public imagination ever since. Now, the Royal Mint brings this elusive creature to life as the first release in its Legendary Creatures coin series. Part folklore, part fine art, and entirely precious, this coin marks a stunning debut for what promises to be an exceptional collectible coin series.

The reverse features Dan Thorne's evocative design, with the monster rising majestically from the loch and the ruins of Urquhart Castle silhouetted in the background.

The obverse show’s the classic King Charles III uncrowned portrait by Martin Jennings with the legend 'CHARLES III·D·G·REX·FD·2 POUNDS'

Struck to bullion standard, the 2026 silver coin is limited to a maximum mintage of just 50,000 coins with more Legendary Creatures set to follow in its path.
