Beautiful Seymour Unicorn Design
Obverse: A rendition of His Majesty King Charles III appears on the obverse, surrounded by the inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “D.G. REX. F.D.,” “2 POUNDS” and “2024.” Renowned British sculptor Martin Jennings created the royal effigy, which received His Majesty’s personal approval.
Reverse: The Seymour Unicorn is featured on the reverse, with a shield adorned with the coat of arms of Jane Seymour in its grip. Inscribed “SEYMOUR UNICORN” and “2024,” with “HAMPTON COURT PALACE ROYAL TUDOR BEASTS” located on the edge of the coin. The breathtaking heraldic image is an example of the work of acclaimed British illustrator David Lawrence.
