The English lion emblem traces its origins back to the medieval era, particularly during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart (1189–1199). Richard I adopted the lion as a symbol of strength, courage, and monarchy. His epithet “Lionheart” further solidified the association between lions and English royalty. Today, 2024 1 oz Niue Silver English Lion Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Over the centuries, the depiction of the English lion emblem has evolved. Initially, it was a single lion rampant (standing on hind legs) on a red background. In the 12th century, this lion was commonly depicted with a forked tail. However, by the 13th century, it became more standardized as a single lion passant guardant (walking with one forepaw raised and facing the viewer) on a red background.
All 2024 1 oz Niue Silver English Lion Coins offered here come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and arrive in protective plastic capsules. The coins have a cross in the background on both sides reminiscent of the red cross on St. George’s flag, the flag of England.
On the obverse of 2024 Niue Silver English Lion Coins, you’ll find the Public Seal of Niue. This emblem is representative of both the nation and its government, and features native flora at the center with crossed arrows beneath and an English crown overhead.
The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Silver English Lion Coin comes with a depiction of the English Lion. The lion shown here has both forepaws raised as it stands on its hind legs and faces the viewer. The English Lion is wearing the Imperial Crown on its head.
