2022 1/4oz Gold The Tudor Beasts Lion of England NGC MS70

The reverse presents the crowned Lion of England supporting a shield bearing the combined arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. Its design takes inspiration from the heraldic beasts of Hampton Court Palace, while the obverse carries the fifth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Combining a quarter-ounce gold format with a prominent Tudor heraldic subject, this piece offers collectors an accessible entry into the series. Its position as the first bullion release gives it particular relevance for those assembling a Tudor Beasts collection.
