Title:
Tudor 2026 | £10 Lion
Description:
The Obverse Design
The obverse of the coin, designed by Martin Jennings, features the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, facing left in regal profile. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions: “CHARLES III • D • G • REX • F • D • 10 POUNDS • 2026”, meaning “Charles III, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.” This elegant depiction reflects the continuity of the monarchy and the Royal Mint’s commitment to craftsmanship and tradition.
The Reverse Design
On the reverse, artist David Lawrence presents a commanding image of the Queen’s Lion, one of the most iconic Tudor Beasts. The lion stands powerfully upright, holding a shield bearing the Tudor Rose, an enduring symbol of England’s unity and royal strength. The inscriptions read: “THE QUEEN’S LION • 10oz • FINE SILVER • 9999 • 2026.” The precision engraving captures every strand of the lion’s mane and the texture of its shield, reflecting the Royal Mint’s advanced minting technology and artistic mastery.
