- Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, a finer finish than circulating coins.

- The reverse is based on the Seymour Unicorn sculpture that features on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace.
- Created in collaboration with the experts at Historic Royal Palaces, the coin is housed within a fold-out wallet that explores the heraldry of Henry VIII and the Seymour Unicorn.
One of several heraldic beasts commissioned by Henry VIII, the Seymour Unicorn stands opposite the King’s Lion of England on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace as Jane Seymour’s chief supporter. The unicorn rarely featured as a heraldic beast before it was chosen to flank the Moat Bridge. The fertility symbolism of the unicorn made it a fitting choice for the new queen because of Henry VIII’s desire for a son and heir.
