About the Queen’s Lion
The Queen’s Lion is one of the most recognisable heraldic symbols of the Tudor dynasty. Chosen by Henry VIII, it represents courage, nobility and royal authority. The stone statue stands on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace alongside the other Tudor Beasts, symbolising the strength and legitimacy of the Tudor monarchy.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the Queen’s Lion holding the shield of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII’s third wife. The design is enhanced by The Royal Mint’s advanced surface animation security feature, providing both visual depth and additional protection against counterfeiting. The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
