The ninth coin from the 2022-2026 Tudor Beasts range:
 
2026 Queen's Lion
 
Following his marriage to Jane Seymour in 1536, Henry VIII commissioned a commanding entrance to the palace, presenting several majestic figures to honour his new Queen Consort.
 
Amongst these was the impressive Queen’s Lion, a proud and powerful symbol that supports a shield bearing Jane Seymour’s royal badge that is emblematic of her position and the Tudor legacy.
