Secure a near-flawless piece of Tudor heritage. The 2025 1oz Gold Greyhound of Richmond, a magnificent seventh release in The Royal Mint’s acclaimed Tudor Beasts series, meticulously graded and encapsulated by PCGS at an exceptional MS68+ or higher. This is more than a coin; it’s a tangible link to one of England’s most pivotal dynasties, presented in a condition truly fit for royalty.
The Greyhound of Richmond: A Symbol of Loyalty and Lineage
Step back in time to the court of Henry VIII and the formidable Hampton Court Palace, where ten stone beasts guard the Moat Bridge, each embodying a powerful lineage and legitimising the Tudor claim to the throne. The 2025 Greyhound of Richmond 1oz Gold Coin brings the seventh of these heraldic guardians to life with breathtaking detail.
The White Greyhound, a symbol deeply intertwined with the House of Lancaster and the very foundations of the Tudor dynasty, was a personal emblem of Edmund Tudor, Henry VII’s father, marking his connection to the Earldom of Richmond. It represented loyalty, honour, swiftness, and unwavering fidelity – qualities vital to the success and endurance of the Tudor reign.
Designed by the masterful artist David Lawrence, the reverse of this coin portrays the Greyhound in a dynamic, alert pose, clutching a shield emblazoned with the three lions of England, reminiscent of its prominent display at Hampton Court. The exquisite craftsmanship captures the Greyhound’s sleek power and elegant lines, while the subtle “surface animation” security feature in the background offers both visual depth and an advanced layer of anti-counterfeiting technology. The obverse proudly features the inaugural coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings, completing a truly historic composition.
