| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, highly sculptural depiction of the Seymour Panther, the heraldic beast associated with Jane Seymour, third wife of King Henry VIII, rendered by engraver David Lawrence. The panther is shown passant-sejant, facing dexter with jaws agape, its spotted body rendered with naturalistic detail and its tail curling behind in a sweeping arc. The beast grasps a heraldic shield in its forepaws, adorned with decorative feathering at the wrist, evoking the Tudor heraldic tradition. The legend SEYMOUR PANTHER arcs along the upper field in incuse capitals, flanked by raised pellets, while the date 2022 appears in the lower exergue against a highly polished recessed panel. The engraver's initials D.L are visible in the lower left field of the design. |

| Additional information |
The Seymour Panther is one of the ten heraldic beasts adopted from the supporters and crests of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, revived by the Royal Mint as part of its Tudor Beasts series — a successor programme to the Queen's Beasts issues that ran from 2017 to 2021. The panther in Tudor heraldry was typically depicted as incensed, breathing fire, a detail rooted in medieval bestiaries that associated the creature with sweet breath capable of luring prey.
This was among the final series releases before Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
