The Design
Martin Jennings is the artist who depicted King Charles III’s left profile bust featured in the Tudor Beats Series.
The image is surrounded by “CHARLES III,” “10 POUNDS,” and “D.G.REX.F.D.,” referring to the coin’s face value, and the Latin initials mean “Dei Gracia Rex,” by the Grace of God, King.
David Lawrence designed The Seymour Unicorn through the depiction of a Heraldic Unicorn.
The engravings on the outer rim describe weight, metal content, fineness, and year of issuance and read “SEYMOUR UNICORN. 10 oz. FINE SILVER. 999.9. 2024”
The chain mail animation texture in the backdrop works as an extra security feature.
The Tudor Beast Series
The series’ motif is ten beasts that the British royal ancestry seals. Henri VIII, the second Tudor of the dynasty, turned them into stone statues on the Palace Moat’s Bridge.
The Seymour Unicorn is the fourth edition of the series, but the other Tudor Beasts are The Bull of Clarence, The Seymour Panther, The Lion of England, the Yale of Beaufort, the Tudor Dragon, the Greyhound of Richmond, the Royal Dragon, the Queen's Panther, and the Queen’s Lion.
