The series showcases symbols associated with the monarchy’s power, lineage, and heritage, which have adorned royal coats of arms and regalia for centuries. This issue combines the investment value of gold with historical and heraldic themes. It was created for collectors interested in the history of Great Britain, royal symbolism, and numismatics inspired by medieval heritage.
The design attracts attention with its monumental character and striking relief. The overall design draws on traditional heraldic art, in which animals symbolized strength, loyalty, and royal lineage. The obverse features the official portrait of the monarch. The image is centered, with information regarding the issuer and the face value arranged around it. The composition retains an elegant, stately character. The reverse depicts the Richmond greyhound standing next to a heraldic shield. The animal is depicted in a proud, upright pose, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of the Tudor dynasty. The silhouette, coat, and decorations on the shield have been rendered in great detail, giving the design exceptional depth.
The coin is part of “The Royal Tudor Beasts” series, created as a continuation of the popular series dedicated to the heraldic symbols of the British monarchy. The design was inspired by the stone animal sculptures located at the entrance to Hampton Court Palace, one of the most important Tudor residences.
The Richmond Greyhound was a symbol of the Tudor dynasty and originated in the heraldry of the House of Beaufort, from which Henry VII descended. The animal symbolized loyalty, nobility, and the royal ambitions of the new dynasty. The stamp series was created to shed light on the history of the Tudors and their influence on the development of the English monarchy.
