First introduced in 2022, The Royal Mint’s Tudor Beasts Series builds on the earlier Queen’s Beasts program with designs inspired by the heraldic statues on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. Each motif draws from symbols used by the Tudor monarchs—especially Henry VIII—to reinforce the family’s claim after the Wars of the Roses.

One of the key elements of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour’s heraldry was Jane’s personal badge. Her emblem combined a hawthorn tree with a phoenix—imagery that spoke to renewal and transformation. The phoenix, rising from its ashes, echoed Jane’s rise from lady-in-waiting to queen and symbolized Henry’s hopes for a renewed Tudor line through their union.

The obverse of the 2026 British Gold Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion Coins features King Charles III. Created by sculptor Martin Jennings in 2022, this first definitive portrait shows the king in left-profile relief without a crown.

On the reverse of the 2026 1/4 oz Gold Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion Coins, the Queen’s Lion linked to Jane Seymour stands prominently. Henry VIII used this crowned lion to mark Jane’s status as queen consort, and the design pairs the lion with her distinctive badge for a clear nod to Tudor symbolism.
