Coin Information:

This coin was reissued in 2018 to celebrate the England Football Team's achievement in the World Cup. The Lion of England is a traditional symbol of bravery, strength and valour and is one of the earliest animals to appear in royal emblems. The patriotic design by Jody Clark is one of the best in years, harking back to a more traditional style and features the Lion of England which takes a fierce, rampant stance. The obverse features the fifth portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, also designed by Jody Clark. This coin was initially issued in 2017 to celebrate the ancestral beasts of heraldry, myth and legend that have watched over Her Majesty the Queen throughout her unprecedented reign. The Lion of England is a traditional symbol of centuries of Royal British Heraldry.
