2026 Solomon Islands $5 2-oz Silver Lion of England Filigree Proof-Like w/Gold Gilding

The Silver Lion of England Roars Again!

The lion's association with the English monarchy dates back to the 12th century when King Richard I, the famous King Richard the Lionheart of Crusader fame, adopted the beast for its courage and strength—traits that he himself aspired to and was noted for. Three centuries later, King Henry VIII included the Lion of England in his famed Tudor Beasts at Hampton Court. This particular lion wasn't just decorative—it stood as a stone-faced reminder of the king’s legitimacy and dynastic ambitions. Perched proudly on the Moat Bridge, it bears the combined arms of Henry and Jane Seymour, subtly shouting, "Long live the Tudors!"
