| Reverse description | The heraldic Seymour Panther, drawn from the royal beasts associated with Jane Seymour, is depicted seated and facing slightly right in high relief, its mouth open in a fierce roar and its spotted body rendered with fine sculptural detail. The creature clutches a shield bearing heraldic devices with its right forepaw, while its curled tail arcs behind it in a bold sweep. The engraver's initials D.L. appear in the lower left field. The inscription SEYMOUR PANTHER curves along the upper periphery, and the date 2022 is prominently displayed in the lower exergual area, flanked by raised dots. |

| Additional information |
The Seymour Panther is one of ten heraldic beasts drawn from the supporters and badges of the Tudor royal family, revived by the Royal Mint for the Queen's Beasts series beginning in 2016. The panther specifically derives from the heraldic badge of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII, whose family arms incorporated the creature. This 2022 kilo issue in .999 gold represents the concluding phase of a program that ran across seven years and generated some of the most technically ambitious bullion and proof strikes the Royal Mint had attempted in decades.
It was also among the final coins issued under Elizabeth II's reign before her death in September 2022.
