Limited edition gold proof quarter ounce Tudor Beasts coin, featuring the Lion of England. The King of the Beasts was the second release in this popular collection from the UK's Royal Mint. Created in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces, the Tudor Beasts is a celebration of England's most famous royal dynasty through the real and heraldic creatures used on their coats of arms. The ten-part series includes designs inspired by a group of statues at Hampton Court Palace. Like all the Tudor Beasts coins, the 2022 Lion of England features a reverse crafted by illustrator David Lawrence. His creations take inspiration from the statues at Hampton Court but aim for a realistic depiction of the beast in question. Lawrence's lion is crowned and clutches a shield which combines the arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. In heraldry, lions symbolise courage and nobility. These fearsome beasts have featured in the English royal arms since medieval times. The fifth and final official coinage portrait of Her Majesty the Queen by Jody Clark appears to the obverse. Struck in 7.80 grams of 999.9 gold, this 1/4oz coin is from a maximum coin mintage of just 1,000 pieces. It's offered in The Royal Mint's finest proof striking standard. Proof coins are struck multiple times with specially prepared dies for a superior finish, aimed at collectors. This pre-owned example comes in its original presentation packaging from the Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed.
