The Tudor Beasts Series from The Royal Mint continues the legacy of the Queen’s Beasts Series with new designs rooted in English history. Introduced in 2022, this series includes 10 coins inspired by the heraldic statues lining the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court. These beasts represent the power and authority used by the Tudor monarchs, especially King Henry VIII, to legitimize their reign after the Wars of the Roses.

The Queen’s Lion represents King Henry VIII’s third wife, Jane Seymour. Since Jane came from minor nobility and lacked the royal lineage of a queen consort, Henry VIII used heraldry to raise her status. Through a “coat of augmentation,” he added symbols of power and nobility to highlight her new position as queen.

The obverse of the 2026 British Silver Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion Coin features the first official portrait of King Charles III. Created by Martin Jennings in late 2022, this left-profile image shows the king without a crown.

On the reverse of the 2026 2 oz Silver Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion Coin, you’ll see the Queen’s Lion emblem. This crowned lion, paired with Jane Seymour’s badge, symbolized the strength and legitimacy Henry VIII wanted to project through her queenship.
