The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection delves into the rich heraldry of the Tudor dynasty through meticulously crafted coin designs. Drawing inspiration from the statues that line the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, these coins symbolize the historic union of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour.
The Queen’s Panther, the final royal beast seen by visitors before entering the palace, is featured on this coin. Collection artist David Lawrence has masterfully depicted the panther in its traditional ‘incensed’ form, with flames emanating from its mouth and ears, symbolizing its fragrant and allegedly enticing breath. Unlike the Seymour Panther, which holds a shield bearing the Seymour wings, the Queen’s Panther is adorned with the Royal Coat of Arms impaled by that of the Seymour family.
This coin is available in gold Proof, silver Proof, and Brilliant Uncirculated editions, each accompanied by packaging that delves into the heraldic significance of the Queen’s Panther, the influence of fine art on Tudor heraldry, and the creation of the original stone beasts. The one-ounce silver Proof edition features the edge inscription ‘∙ HAMPTON COURT PALACE ∙ ROYAL TUDOR BEASTS’ and is also offered as part of a two-coin set that includes a coin with a reverse frosted finish.
