The Royal Tudor Beasts Series

The Royal Tudor Beasts Series draws inspiration from the ten heraldic statues that once lined the moat bridge of Hampton Court Palace, celebrating the power, lineage, and authority of the Tudor dynasty. Each release in the series focuses on a single beast, rendered with bold relief and precise detail, and struck in ultra-pure silver to meet modern bullion standards.

Collectors value this series for its cohesive storytelling, large-format presentation, and continuity with The Royal Mint’s celebrated heraldic programs, including The Queen’s Beasts. The Greyhound of Richmond stands as one of the most recognizable Tudor symbols, closely associated with the rise of the Tudor house.

The Greyhound of Richmond: Symbolism & History

The Greyhound of Richmond served as a personal badge of Henry Tudor (later King Henry VII) and symbolized loyalty, vigilance, and legitimacy. Its use reinforced Tudor authority following the Wars of the Roses, helping to cement the dynasty’s place in English history. This coin honors that legacy, translating a historic stone sculpture into a refined bullion design suitable for today’s collectors.
