The obverse of the 2024 1 oz British Gold Tudor Beasts Seymour Unicorn Coin presents King Charles III in a left-profile relief. This depiction is a shift from the traditional right-profile orientation seen with Queen Elizabeth II, and notably, the King is portrayed without a crown, surrounded by the coin’s identifying marks.

On the reverse, the coin features the Seymour Unicorn, depicted holding the six-quartered Arms of Jane Seymour, restrained by a chain. This image symbolizes the Seymour Unicorn's role as a symbol of purity and fertility and its historical association as the chief supporter of Jane Seymour.

Each 2024 1 oz British Gold Tudor Beasts Seymour Unicorn Coin arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are shipped in protective plastic flips, while larger orders are distributed in sealed tubes of 10 or Monster Boxes of 100.

The Seymour Unicorn, standing opposite the Lion of England at the front of the Moat Bridge, was bestowed upon Jane Seymour by her husband, King Henry VIII, affirming her status as his queen. This regal symbol is not just a part of British heraldry but also a profound emblem of the Tudor period's grandeur and historical significance.
