2022 1oz Gold Tudor Beasts Lion Of England Certified Coin MS66+

Product Description:

The 2022 Lion of England coin marks the powerful first release in The Royal Mint’s Royal Tudor Beasts series — a successor to the acclaimed Queen’s Beasts collection. Drawing inspiration from the ten heraldic creatures that flank the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, this new series brings the rich symbolism of the Tudor dynasty to life. With each coin, collectors and historians are offered a fresh lens through which to explore the power, prestige, and mythology of one of Britain’s most influential royal houses.

As the inaugural issue, the Lion of England sets a bold tone. Long regarded as a symbol of courage, nobility, and royal authority, the lion stands in a commanding pose that captures the essence of Tudor strength. The reverse of the coin, designed by David Lawrence, presents this iconic beast in a striking and contemporary interpretation, combining traditional heraldry with dynamic artistry.

The obverse features the fifth and final definitive coinage portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by Jody Clark. Encircling the portrait is the inscription: “ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D • 100 POUNDS” — affirming the coin’s legal tender status and regal heritage.

Whether you are beginning your Royal Tudor Beasts collection or adding to a growing portfolio of historic coins, the 2022 Lion of England is a remarkable fusion of storytelling, craftsmanship, and legacy.
