Obverse

On the obverse of the 2026 British Gold Tudor Beasts Queens Lion Coins, youll find the official portrait of King Charles III. Designed by Martin Jennings in 2022, it presents the king in left-profile relief without a crown.

Reverse

The reverse shows the Queens Lion associated with Jane Seymour. Henry VIII introduced this crowned lion emblem to represent her importance as queen, with the design including the lion carrying her badge.

History

King Henry VIII used heraldic imagery to strengthen his marriage to Jane Seymour and celebrate her status as queen. Janes badge showed a golden phoenix rising from flames near a hawthorn tree, often set inside or beside a castle gateway. This detailed symbol reflected different aspects of her role and identity as queen consort.
