The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection
The Queen's Lion is the ninth coin in the Royal Tudor Beast series from the Royal Mint . Launched October 2021 the series when complete will depict all 10 Tudor Beasts of Henry VIII which stand on guard at the entrance to the famous Kings favourite Palace Hampton Court.
The Queen’s Lion
The lion is a familiar sight in heraldry and traditionally symbolises strength and courage. The Queen’s Lion stands tall and proud on the Moat Bridge of Hampton Court Palace, supporting a shield bearing Jane Seymour’s badge. The badge depicts a hawthorn tree standing behind a gateway, fully blossomed and royally crowned, with a golden phoenix on top of the mount. In Greek mythology, the phoenix was a creature said to symbolise rebirth and love, which suggests that Jane added it to her badge to represent the king’s love for her and signify a rebirth from his marriage to his previous wife, Anne Boleyn.
