2022 2 oz Gold Royal Tudor Beasts Lion of England Proof
The Lion of England has been a part of heraldry for centuries. It first appeared on royal emblems in the 12th century, and it is currently used as one facet within England’s shield, which was established during the same time period. The Lion of England holds great meaning because its image represents both pride and courage simultaneously. Not only does the lion have exceptional courage, but also loyalty toward its king or queen, depending upon who reigns.
OBVERSE
Displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the face value of 200 pounds.
REVERSE
Created by David Lawrence, a famed illustrator, the design showcases the Royal Tudor Beast Lion of England with sharp claws and a mane topped with a royal crown.
