Sale
Just like the Ten beasts that lined the entry to Westminster, there are another ten heraldic beasts that flank the Moat Bridge of Hampton Court Palace! Linking back to King Henry VIII, each beast signifies the king's regal lineage whilst also celebrating his marriage to Jane Seymour.
Following his marriage to Jane Seymour in 1536, Henry VIII commissioned a commanding entrance to the palace, presenting several majestic figures to honour his new Queen Consort. Amongst these was the impressive Queen’s Lion, a proud and powerful symbol that supports a shield bearing Jane Seymour’s royal badge that is emblematic of her position and the Tudor legacy.
Excellent value for money, each King's Beasts BU coin is presented in typical high quality and informative Royal Mint packaging.
