The Tudor Beasts Silver Coins

The Royal British Mint has launched a new nine-part series, The Royal Tudor Beasts, dedicated to the heraldic creatures of the House of Tudor, following the huge success of The Queenʼs Beasts. English heraldry is one of the oldest and most sophisticated in Europe, which is why it is also a rewarding and popular subject in numismatics. The first heraldic animal is Jane Seymour's Panther, but the British Mint decided to issue a coin with this motif separately outside the series. Therefore the first coin in The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection was the Lion of England, followed by the Yale of Beaufort, the others being the Greyhound of Richmond, , the Tudor Dragon, the Unicorn of the House of Seymour, the Royal Dragon, the Queen's Lion, the Black Bull of the Dukes of Clarence and the Queen's Panther. This makes this issue not only a suitable investment coin but also an interesting collector's piece. These coins are made from 999.9/1000 Au fine gold.
