2022 GB 2 oz Silver Royal Tudor Beasts The Lion of England 
The Lion of England, one the most iconic beasts in heraldry, has been part of royal emblems for as long it exists. This majestic feline first appears on a shield bearing King Henry VIII’s arms at Hampton Court Palace impaled – or combined – with Jane Seymour’s coat of arms between them to symbolize pride and courage to represent those qualities clearly shown throughout this story about how two people came together not just by marriage but also with true love.
