2022 Britain Tudor's Beasts Lion 2 oz Silver BU

2022 Royal Mint Royal Tudor Beasts Lion of England 2 oz Silver BU Coin

The Royal Mint has once again proven its impeccable dedication to producing British coinage that faithfully represents the nation's rich heritage. Second, in the immensely popular Royal Tudor Beasts series, this 2022 Royal Mint Royal Tudor Beasts Lion of England 2 oz Silver BU Coin was designed for the British Royal Mint by illustrator David Lawrence. As with the previous release, the intricate detail captured on the image is truly awesome!

According to the Mint:

"The Lion of England is one of the oldest and most iconic royal beasts in heraldic art. Used on the shield of England for as long as one has existed, the lion first appeared in heraldry in the twelfth century. Chosen to represent pride and courage, the Lion of England on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace held a shield bearing the impaled – or combined – arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, symbolizing the strength of the couple’s union.

The coin features a depiction of the Lion of England that is as fearsome as the original stone beast itself. Snarling with sharp claws and boasting an impressive mane topped with a royal crown, the Lion of England truly is the king of the Royal Beasts."
