| Additional information |
The Lion of England is the second animal in the Queen's Beasts series, a ten-coin program the Royal Mint launched in 2016 to coincide with Elizabeth II's 90th birthday. By 2022, the series had long closed — the lion itself was introduced back in 2017 — making this a bullion restrike rather than an original issue year. The Queen's Beasts program drew its heraldic source material directly from the ten sculpted beasts that flanked the entrance to Westminster Abbey at the 1953 coronation, themselves based on royal hereditary claims stretching back through the House of Plantagenet.
