This Lion of England coin is the first bullion release in the Royal Mint's Tudor Beasts series. The coins are based on 10 heraldic statues representing King Henry VIII's heritage.
Designed by David Lawrence, the coin features a crowned lion baring its teeth while guarding Henry and Jane Seymour's coats of arms.
The coin also includes the added security feature of radial lines which appear behind the lion.
This gold coin is struck to an uncirculated finish from 0.9999 fine gold (24 carat) and contains one troy ounce of the precious metal.
These coins are supplied loose. You can add a 33mm capsule to your order.
For centuries the lion has been used as a heraldic symbol. Its origins can be traced back to 1128, when King Henry I presented a shield of golden lions to one of his courtiers.
Epitomising strength, bravery and courage, the lion has continued to appear on royal coats of arms and heraldic shields.
The Tudor Beasts (also known as the King's Beasts) are a series of heraldic statues, which flank the moat bridge at Hampton Court Palace. The ten statues represent King Henry VIII's Tudor ancestry and his marriage to his third wife, Jane Seymour.
The obverse features Jody Clark's portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 100 POUNDS ·
The reverse was designed by David Lawrence and shows a crowned lion holding a shield. The words “LION OF ENGLAND” appear at the top, with the year “2022” at the bottom.
The shield features the combined arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. Showing both arms together symbolises the strength of the couple.
