The lion has stood as a symbol of Britain for generations, representing courage and pride. Its presence in heraldry reflects the enduring ideals of British strength and resilience, commemorating a timeless symbol of British identity and national pride.
The Tudor Beasts coin series takes inspiration from the ten heraldic stone beasts that guard the gate to Hampton Court Palace. These majestic beasts were commissioned to commemorate the historic union of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour.
