According to the Royal Mint:
"The Lion of England is one of the oldest and most iconic royal beasts in heraldic art. Used on the shield of England for as long as one has existed, the lion first appeared in heraldry in the twelfth century. Chosen to represent pride and courage, the Lion of England on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace held a shield bearing the impaled – or combined – arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, symbolizing the strength of the couple’s union.
The coin features a depiction of the Lion of England that is as fearsome as the original stone beast itself. Snarling with sharp claws and boasting an impressive mane topped with a royal crown, the Lion of England truly is the king of the Royal Beasts."
The coin's obverse displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and 5 pounds. The ruthenium background features a guilloché texture design. Inscriptions are: "ELIZABETH II . D.G. REG. F.D. 5 POUNDS"
