The Royal Tudor Beasts series, a coin collection from the Royal Mint in Wales, showcases heraldic beasts tied to the ancestry of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, a notable family during the Tudor period. The Seymour Unicorn, the fourth coin in this bullion series, draws inspiration from royal heritage, symbolising purity and fertility.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse of the Royal Tudor Beasts Seymour Unicorn beautifully depicts the mythical creature holding a shield. It has the body of a horse, a lion's tail, and a central horn on its head. The background features a chainmail surface animation texture for added security.
On the obverse, the first official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, crafted by Martin Jennings, graces the coin, accompanied by a legend inscription indicating its face value of 25 pounds sterling, legal tender in the United Kingdom.
