Obverse

The obverse design of the 2026 British Gold Loch Ness Monster Coin displays King Charles III. The portrait, created by Martin Jennings, shows the King in left-profile relief. First introduced in 2022, this design serves as the initial effigy of Charles III on British coinage and depicts him without a crown.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Loch Ness Monster Coin showcases the mythical creature emerging from the water. Often portrayed with a long neck and compact head, the figure is set against the natural scenery of Loch Ness. Measuring over 23 miles in length and more than 750 feet at its deepest point, the loch provides a dramatic backdrop for this well-known legend.

History

Public fascination with the Loch Ness Monster increased in 1933 following a report in the Inverness Courier. A local couple described seeing unusual movement in the waters of Loch Ness, a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. The lakes size, depth, and misty surroundings have made it a fitting setting for one of Scotlands most talked-about legends.
