| Additional information |
The Queen's Lion is one of the ten heraldic beasts reproduced at Hampton Court Palace in the 1530s on the orders of Henry VIII, each representing a dynastic claim or royal bloodline. The original stone beasts were replaced in wood, then again in recreations that still flank the bridge today. This issue continues a series the Royal Mint launched under Elizabeth II, which now carries across the reign change — unusual in that the same heraldic programme is being commemorated under two monarchs without interruption.
