Henry Tudor’s defeat of the forces of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field brought an end to the Wars of the Roses, a long-running conflict for control of the English throne. Henry’s victory and subsequent marriage to Elizabeth of York resulted in the union of the House of Lancaster and the House of York and marked the founding of the House of Tudor, a dynasty that would rule for nearly 120 years.

The Lion of England is found in the reverse design of the 2022 1 oz Platinum Tudor Beasts Lion Coins.
