2022 2 oz Silver Royal Tudor Beasts Lion of England Proof
The Lion of England has been a part of royal emblems and coats of arms for centuries. First appearing on shields in the 1200s, this majestic animal is recognized around world as an iconic symbol that represents both pride and courage. The moat bridge at Hampton Court Palace features the lion holding up its crossed swords, which recall how King Henry VIII united with Jane Seymour after they were married to preserve their love through strength alone – without any outward blessing.
