| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned Lion of England is depicted passant guardant at centre, holding in its forepaws a quartered shield of the Royal Arms. The date is divided by the lion's body, appearing on either side of the central device. The design is rendered with exceptional relief and fine detail, characteristic of the Royal Mint's Queen's Beast series proof coinage. A circular legend surrounds the composition, identifying the heraldic subject. The frosted reverse finish creates a striking contrast against the polished fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lion of England is the first release in the Queen's Beasts Completer series, which itself closed out a ten-beast program begun in 2016 — each animal drawn from the heraldic supporters flanking Elizabeth II at her 1953 coronation. The .9999 fineness is notable: the original Queen's Beasts bullion issues struck from 2016 onward used .9999 gold, but several proof iterations in the series varied, making the specification here worth confirming against the specific issue in hand.
The reverse frosting on this composition designation indicates a cameo finish applied selectively to raised design elements — a production distinction, not merely an aesthetic one, as it requires separate die preparation from standard proof strikes.
