Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 British Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion Silver Coins shows the official portrait of King Charles III. Designed by Martin Jennings in late 2022, this first definitive image depicts the King in left-profile relief without a crown. The inscriptions include CHARLES III, DG REX FD, and 5 POUNDS.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2026 Tudor Beasts Queen’s Lion 2 oz Silver Coins is the crowned Queens Lion holding the badge of Jane Seymour. This design reflects the heraldic imagery Henry VIII used to highlight Jane Seymours importance as queen consort. The inscriptions read THE QUEEN’S LION, 2 OZ, FINE SILVER, 999.9, and 2026.

History

The Queens Lion is closely connected to Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. Their marriage on May 30, 1536, came just eleven days after Anne Boleyns execution. This quick union, held at Whitehall Palace, was smaller and less formal than Henrys earlier weddings due to the circumstances surrounding Anne Boleyns downfall.
