Royal Tudor Beast Lion of England 1 oz Gold Coin

Inspired by the majestic Royal Beasts that stand guard over the moat of Hampton Court Palace, the Royal Tudor Beasts bullion coin collection begins with the mighty Lion of England. Strong, intimidating, and regal, the lion was a fierce figure to greet visitors to Hampton Court Palace and embodied Henry VIII's and his kingdom's values.

The original, gargoyle-like statue of the lion on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace inspired David Lawrence, who captured the magnificent Lion of England in all its glory, with a flowing mane and sharp claws, against a surface animation background texture. The fifth definitive coinage portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Jody Clark appears on the obverse of the coin.

This coin has been struck in one ounce of 999.9 fine gold and is also available as a quarter-ounce gold edition along with silver and platinum editions.
